Identifing the 6.2..........

[DEMON44]

Is there a casting # list for these engines somewhere? I got one free from a guy at work, says its a recent rebuild, early '80s-ish...... are they numbered like the SBCs?

Thanks

Not that I know of. There were only 2 different 6.2 castings; most would be 14022660. In the last couple years (92-93) the block used was casting # 10149599. These are the blocks with one-piece rear main seals and cylinder walls thick enough to be bored to 6.5 size. I don't know of any other casting numbers which give other info about a given block, other than the Julian date of course. Even with that I don't know of a list that spells out changes during a castings production lifespan. For example, the later 660 blocks were supposedly machined to have thicker main webs than earlier ones, but I don't know when that was begun. I know my 1991 660 block's webs are so thick that there is maybe only .020 between the webs and the crank counterweights - it is TIGHT. The 82's were supposedly a higher nickel block, but I have not found any proof to suggest that GM ever changed the iron formulation.

What are you planning to do with it?

Thanks Max.....I really don't know what I should do with it yet though.

You could strap it to a pallet and send it to me
