Thanks, it can be helpful if you're not sure what you have.

back many years ago, the engine number was all important,, it was a big rigamarow to change an engine because they used that to identify a car , they didn't really have body numbers back then, . my dad was a mechanic and he had a set of stamps and would change the numbers to match what was in the car, not really legal but that was done often way back then.

My numbers on front of block are ‘F04I6M’ nothing I can find is even close, but the second digit could be a zero, or could be an O (letter), also the ‘6’ might be a lower case ‘b’. But no where I have looked is there only 6 digits. I was told this engine was a 283, and it’s in a ‘63 c-30, but don’t know that it’s original engine. Can’t find a chart anywhere that my engine stamp even comes close to. HELP !

I doubt I'll ever need that information, but it is interesting to know about it. Thanks for sharing it, Lloyd. I do have a question, however. In 1965 some or all Studebakers had Chevy engines. The 1962 GT Hawk must have originally had the Studebaker 289 c.i. V8. Am I thinking rightly about that? I ordered an Avanti (that I never took delivery of because production stopped) with a Paxton supercharger and only after I had placed my order did they tell me that it would have a Chevy 289 engine. I didn't care, really, but I was surprised at that time.

There are numbers on the left rear of the engine block close to the bell housing area and on the right front there is a tag on the block close to the head mounting surface.
