I'm bumping this for Ghost post. Thanks, Paul.

As in my PM w/ 65ssd, I have no complete lists here and only notes I've saved over the years also an old oil-stained book that has some included but is mixed in w/ other info too..

I've tried to get all the unique Canadian codes I have together a few times and had posted most of them in a thread here once but it crashed when I pushed the submit button and I lost everything I'd spent the time getting together!.
I was so disappointed and frustrated that I gave up and haven't tried again since..

Keep in mind that these Canadian Suffix Codes weren't only used in Cdn. Pontiacs but also in some Cdn. built Chevys too!.

Here below is a few threads where we've discussed these Canadian only codes before..
I'll try and make an attempt at getting them all rounded up again soon..

Have a great weekend fellas!.

Unlike standard suffixes, from what I've seen it seems some or all of these unique Canadian suffix engines were used w/ different intakes/carbs etc also used in multiple years w/ both sticks and autos so pilot bushings added when req'd?.

Unconfirmed info includes;

21 = 327 4Bbl
25 = 327 4Bbl
80 = 283 2Bbl

Look more for info on the 25 as there's a chance some were built as L79 engines for Canadian production cars!.

My data and observations suggests:

1946 on Pontiac 239.2 prefixed W-, from around W-4500 to W-300000 in 1954
then
1955 Pontiac 261 prefixed W-, starting with W-1? and with Powerglide, a 9 was added, i.e. 9W-

283 prefixed V- and with P/G 9V-..I assume that 265s were the same?

1955-58 right-hand drive 261s were WR- and then from 1959 with rhd P/G 9W-!

1955-on rhd Chevy 235s were R-

I have no idea if there was a 1960-on VR- for rhd 283

1959 onwards 348s were prefixed D- and P/G 9D-

GMC truck 283s were TV-, so I assume that the 348s were TD-?

As I said 1955-62ish small-block codes were V or 9V.

I have engine numbers back to 1915 but they are for Chevrolet and Pontiac/GMC/Maple Leaf that used Chevy engines. Fat lot of use to you as you want V-8 codes!  However they may be of interest to others.

Good point and interesting on the 852 castings as 327's!?.
What casting is the 21 code 327 that's not the 852?.
