Engine serial number

Aug 04, 2004 32 Replies

I just acquired a 1976 Jeep. The engine, I'm told, is from a jeep wagoneer from the mid 70's as well. It is a 360 V-8 and I need to find the serial number but, I dont know where to look. I have searched a little and cannot find it. Any help here would be appreciated.



Thanks,



Chip


There should be a metal Vehicle Identification Plate affixed to the left side of the firewall under the hood. The plate shows the model number, sales order number, VIN, Trim options, Paint options, SSR&O number, Engine Code. On my 1976 CJ7 there is also a sticker on the instrument panel that shows stuff like the Plant, date, type of vehicle and so on.

There should also be a tag attached to the front of the right-hand valve cover that shows the Engine Code number.

HTH

Did you actually take the time to read this? "This tag is attached to the front of the right (passenger side) valve cover of second and third generation V8 models. "

Not the block! The valve cover!

Bill, take a deep breath. Read the post, then realize that "you" are the only one talking about "block numbers".

No problem Bill, and you can curse, swear, flag the rat, and whatever, makes no difference, Chevy block numbers had no relevance.

" Yes, if you want block numbers buy a Chevy:

Me too. Buy it and I promise I'll leave. :-)

How go back to making pottery? Is that supposed to mean something? Because that's just gibberish and makes no sense in the english language.

Let's see if you don't like someone you call them a bleeding heart liberal..when you know nothing about them.. Is that your favorite come back or is that literally the best you can come up with in your head? Come on billy work those brain cells and do try a little bit harder..

Bill, when did I attack you? I was not the one the moved to Chevy! And, if you take the time to notice, I did let it drop after the "bleeding heart liberal" post you made. I really do not understand your hostility towards me, I have done nothing to you or yours. Is it that you do not want me to participate in this news group?

Uhhhh.... Is that like some cryptic code that I'm supposed to decipher?
