CHEVY CASTING NUMBERS

I know that Chevy Casting Numbers are on several sites on the World Wide Web but I thought it would be a good idea to list them here too. I actually went through several lists and made some corrections before making this list. I hope it helps you identify the Chevrolet engine parts you are working on. If you notice any mistakes or have any additions, use my contact me form and let me know so I can update the list.

If you are looking for the actual Chevy engine codes that are stamped into the block during assembly, Nasty Z-28.com has an excellent block stamping number decoder.
