The 65GS 4 speed that my son-in-law and I picked up Christmas eve has a replacement block, we are not sure of the year or if it's a 401" or a 425" motor. Could someone decode these #s for us: 7K1035616--this # is "stamped" on drivers side of block behind P/S pump. 1186814----this is cast in between spark plugs on drivers side head. KW198------this is stamped on passenger side of block below A/C Compressor. Thanks in advance..............WE JUST GOTTA KNOW !!!!!!!!! o No: :TU: o No: :TU: o No:
7K1035616 = 7-Riviera, K-1964, 1-Flint MI assembly plant, 035616 - car series # in the make. As stated correctly before, KW = 425 CI single 4bbl engine. No wonder it seems strong! :Brow: I would bet the last 3 numbers of the head casting # are 914, not 814. Happy Holidays - Cheryl
