hi. i have a 1983 monte carlo i just bought. it has a v8 engine, that much i know. the rest is confusing. instead of having a casting number on the drivers side rear of the block, it says 5.0 LG, but it looks more like 5.8 LG, but i know chevy didn't make a 5.8 liter engine. the engine has the newer style heads on it, with the 4 bolt hole valve covers, that bolt down the center of the valve cover. has a factory aluminum
4bbl intake with 4bbl rochester carb. BUT, on the front pad of the engine, the suffix code is CKH, which i have only found to be a 307, or 350. so any help is greatly appreciated. i couldn't find any info on the suffix code being used on newer engines. i am lost. PLEASE HELP ME! thanks, jeremy
please email me at snipped-for-privacy@netzero.net ....i will probably forget to check this site, but i would love to hear any info on this problem. i have checked the nastyz28 site, mortec.com site, and some others. none of them help. anyone that has books with the info in it, or updated info, that would be great.
