Guest flathead_jr Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm trying to find out what year this engine is for sure and displacement as well 1343388-1. The casting number was found below the distributor. The engine also has an external balancer, or what appears to be one. Just curious so I can sell it under the correct description. Thanks.........RyanSoutheast, Idaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Do a goggle search on the number and you will find the answer. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flathead_jr Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've done that, and even called a machine shop and had them look it up the number wasn't listed, was hoping someone had a more extensive listing of numbers and years.

Leif Holmberg Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Maybe some pictures should help. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveCorbin Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 There's a STAMPED 8 digit number on a small ledge by the distributor that I can date exactly. Post it or send me a PM.Regards, Dave Corbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flathead_jr Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 We know it's a 54 or newer engine for sure, because it has a harmonic balancer. How ever is there an early 53 and a late 53 engine? I have been looking for this stamped number, but can not find it. I need an exact location to find it.

RivNut Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Give this a shot. You should be looking for stamped numbers, not casting numbers. Lots of different things can be done to the same casting for a number of different years.Team Buick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
