Try posting it here and we can help out. Or, simply go to the homepage for this website and look under "Tech Tips, Specs and Data" and select the link for V-8's or 6 cylinders.

That number is a casting number and will tell you nothing as to year or size.[:I]

First question...... Is it a Studebaker engine?

Jerry, he most likely does have a 1955 thru 1962 partial flow Studebaker V-8 engine block, with that casting number.

But of course he is looking at the raised CASTING numbers on the right side of the block, instead of the STAMPED ones on the left! So that would be why Bob said it will not identify anything about what is inside of that block or what year, without the SERIAL number! [:0]

Folks do not realize for some reason that, anything RAISED on a casting cannot be changed on each unit! It it is part of the mold that formed it and is the same on every one made, until such time, if ever that is is updated and changed and the number changed!

Jerry, I recognize that number as a casting number on Stude V8 blocks. Thing is, as to YOM or CID, that number doesn't yield any info. He's gonna hafta find the little machined area where the ID number is STAMPED into the metal for us to provide an answer.

I guess P83063 is the # were lookin for .Thanks again
Jerry.

[Roscomacaw]

Yes it is! "P" means it's a 289 and the 83063 tells us it's of 1962 vintage.

I have two studebaker V8's with that same number on the front right hand corner of the block.

All V8's from that mold are the same, you did not read post #5 and 6.

Scan to the bottom for a Picture of the Serial Number Stamping Location.

At the end of production engine #s were actually the day of manufacture so multiple engines will have the same #. I am not sure when this started, may have been the 64 model year. You can find this info on the SDC web site.

The reason I did not confuse the issue by mentioning that '64's were date coded is that with 535601 Casting Number, an old 6 digit number, prior to later 7 digit there is no way they could be later than 1961 or early 1962.

The '64 Info is referenced though, at the bottom of the Linked V8 Engine Numbering Chart.

And I was one of them. Thanks for this info StudeRich.
