I have a 82 camaro that originally came with a 6. Someone put an 8 in its place . I would like to get parts for this engine but don't really know what it is . So what do I need to help with this and where do I look.
Thanks Paul

You might be able to find what the engine was originally installed in, using the numbers stamped on the front, passenger side on the top of the block, just in front of the head, just above the water pump. There should be two sets of numbers, such as F0123CDE and 1CK123456. The first would be the engine number, and the second would be the partial VIN. I have some books that I can look up codes and such in, if you post these numbers.
But if it's an older engine, the odds are good that the "stuff" on top of it is not original to it, so this still won't help much with finding what parts to get. It really takes some experience to figure out what is what...sorry!
thanks Jim any help is good here is the #191001836 K09 18FB
Thanks again Paul
About all I can make from those numbers, is a 327 from a 1969 Chevy full size car. Make sure the "FB" is correct...they used 2 letter codes thru
69, and 3 letter codes starting in 70, most codes from the 70s start with C or T, but in the 80s they went crazy with the letter codes.
3970010
was used for 10 years.....in everything Chevy made.
Kind of tough to name a year/model on that one!
