I have a slant 6 with raised numbers by the freeze plugs 2202843. Could someone tell me the year and application of the engine. It is currently in my 1954 chevy truck that I just acquired from my cousins' farm.

Just behind the alternator (as in between the alternator and the block, not towards the rear of the engine) is a pad with #'s stamped on it. Gather those numbers and report back....

2202843 is (shakily) identified as a probable '61 or '62 170 cubic inch engine block. The stamped engine ID number Jase describes, if it is present, will help firm things up.

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

a Dodge engine in a Chevy for once.... cool

Finally found the number I had to remove the coil. S17 7 02 2

S: Engine built for 1962-model vehicle
17: 170 cubic inch displacement
7 02: Engine built on July 2, 1962
2: Build line or shift

So yup, it's a '62 170.
