Engine Casting Numbers Explained 1954-1962 Chevrolet. This section explains how to decipher the Serial Number with the chart explaining the last letters in the Engine Serial Number on the flat of the Distributor Deck. GMC Casting Numbers.

Quote:Lastly, here is another helpful bit of information on reading date codes from Andy Siechen, our GMC Engine Technical Advisor: Several people have asked here and through my email about how to tell what year an engine really is. Here goes: I attached a picture of what is used to determine the casting date of the GMC engine blocks and heads.The first digit is always a letter of the alphabet A-L.

A=January, B=Febuary, C=March etc, etc all the way to L=December. The next digit is a number 1-31 which is the day of the month. The last digit is always a single number and represents the year of the casting.So unless the I is a 1, which would indicate a '51, we have a genuine mystery.My suggestion is to look for the casting dates on the block and head using the following reference.

Quote:The date code casting for the block is usually on the same side if the block as the casting number. The cylinder head location is usually outside the valve cover near the center. Some of the later 270 and 302 heads had all the casting numbers and date castings under the valve cover down near where the pushrods come through.

The raised area with the date almost looks like a small plate attached with two screws and they are often mistaken for something that can be removed. They actually are part of the casting.Good luck in the search.

Contents.Divisions Until the mid-1970s, most General Motors brands designed and manufactured their own engines with few interchangeable parts between brands. In the mid-1960s, there were 8 separate families of GM on sale in the USA.By the 1970s, GM began to see problems with their approach.

For instance, four different North American divisions (, and ) offered four completely different versions of a 350 cu in V8 engine - very few parts would interchange between the four designs despite their visual similarities, resulting in confusion for owners who naturally assumed that replacement parts would be usable across brands. In addition to these issues and the obvious overlap in production costs, the cost of certifying so many different engines for tightening worldwide emissions regulations threatened to become very costly.Thus, by the early 1980s, GM had consolidated its powertrain engineering efforts into a few distinct lines.

Generally, North American and European engineering units remained separate, with Australia's Holden and other global divisions borrowing designs from one or the other as needed. GM also worked out sharing agreements with other manufacturers such as and to fill certain gaps in engineering. Similarly, the company also purchased other automotive firms (including and ), eventually folding their engine designs into the corporate portfolio as well.

GM later reorganized its Powertrain Division into GM Global Propulsion Systems, located in.GM's German subsidiary, relies on a range of three-, four- and six-cylinder and engines. A survey of their range shows a reliance on petrol and diesel four-cylinders, and in 2014, there was only one 3-cylinder engine and one 6 cylinder engine in service in Opel's passenger car range.In addition to automobile and truck engines, GM produced industrial engines, which were sold by brands such as,. Most of these engine designs are unrelated to GM's automotive engines. Automotive gasoline engines Two-cylinder. 1904-1911 World's first production overhead valve engine.

Detroit Diesel Series 92 enginesGM entered the diesel field with its acquisition of the -based in 1930. Winton's main client was the, a producer of internal combustion-electric rail motorcars. GM acquired Electro Motive at roughly the same time as Winton.A partnership of GM's Research and Development Division and their Winton Engine Corporation delivered their first diesel engines suitable for mobile use starting in 1934. The engines were also sold for marine and stationary applications. In a 1938 reorganization, Winton Engine Corporation became the GM, and GM's began production of smaller (50–149 cu in (0.8–2.4 l) per cylinder) diesel engines. Locomotive engines were moved under the GM Electro Motive Division (EMD) in 1941, while Cleveland Diesel retained development and production of large marine and stationary engines.Cleveland Diesel was dissolved in 1962 and their remaining production moved to EMD.

In 1988, the Detroit Diesel Engine Division was incorporated as an independent company, later acquired by DaimlerChrysler in 2005. Retrieved 2014-02-16.
