Re: Vin and I6 Motor Identification HELP!!!!!

If it's the original motor then it's not a 235. '62 was the last year for the 235. The side cover is what will really tell you. If the side covers ar like 6" tall then it's a 292. If they're like 4" then it's either a 230 or 250. The 292's also have one motor mount further forward then the other, I believe the passenger's side is further forward IIRC.

Re: Vin and I6 Motor Identification HELP!!!!!

Unless someone went through a lot of trouble, it is not a 235. As mentioned before, they quite making them in 62. As another mentioned, if the side doors are over 4" then it is a 292. I would suspect it is a 250. There is a engine code by the distributor on the machined area just to the rear of it. You should be able to give that ID# to a dealer and find out what year and cid it is, although I think the year is the first to numbers followed by the first letter. Also you can get the block casting # on the passenger side of the block just under the rear sidedoor, and go here to find what it is. Just to the left of this page you will see a list, click on casting #s and you will probably find a match. Hope this helps. http://www.inliners.org/ The only problem with block casting #'s is that some 230 and 250 shared the same block. The only difference is stroke and pistons.

The vin on my 66 is halfway between windshield pillar and back of door jamb. On roof in other words. Hope this helps.

Re: Vin and I6 Motor Identification HELP!!!!!

its a 250 i have found out thanks to all of you for the help. Im used to the 67-72 trucks and (Very Hard To Find) 1962-1969 L60 Nissan Patrols.
I Traded a 1984 chevy 4 door dulley for this 66 c10 b/c its all there with extra parts and want to keep it all stock as possible.
I like the 1960-1966 is the chrome custom back cab covers which the guy i got it from gave me 3 sets of them in old gm boxes and a set of door sills and a bunch of other parts.
