I'm looking for some help with the engine code for my 57. I know a "W" designates a 6 cylinder but I haven't found any info on my engine code. I know it's a V-8 but not which 283 it has or what the "9" represents. Any help would be appreciated.
Is that number a Pontiac or Chevrolet? A Chevrolet number like 0123456F57E is the number 0123456 is unit number plant F Flint Michigan or T Tonawanda NY Year 57 for year built Type designation E 283 4 barrel
The car is a 1957 Canadian Laurentien. The car has the 8 in the VIN as well as the B.S.O. code 340 which tells me it's a 283. I was hoping to find out which 283 it had. Anyway to tell???
Thanks.
