Engine: serial number ? LS795

[57hawk]

I have a early super charged 289? installed in a 58 Silverhawk. (transplanted motor) I bought the car over 6 years ago and never looked at the serial number. Yesterday a guy wanted to buy the car and we wrote down the serial number. LS 795
I expected a munber to start with P. This number surprised me.
Can anyone explain the LS number to me?
thanks, Ronnie

Ron,LS 795 falls in the '57 Packard Clipper engine numbering sequence that is listed in the V-8 engine list that can be found on the specs and data page.

Ls 795

Thanks Frank. That makes sence. I just assumed it would have came out of a 57/58 Goldenhawk. (looking forward to seeing you guys again sometime soon)

That would have been my assumption as well Ron, who would have thought someone yanked that motor out of a 57 Packard since they made so few. Same here old buddy, sooner or later we'll run into each other! Maybe the Zone Meet in Gering, we are going.
