Engine code with no letters?

RobsEngineCode.jpgMy friends '64 Parisienne has a nine digit engine code with no letters.  834424095.  How can he work out what it is?

The only other way is with the casting number off the block behind the driver's side head.

If the engine has it original distributor, the id number on it would indicate which engine he has.

Digging up an old thread here... I was looking at the 283 I pulled out of my '66 Impala, and I noticed that my engine code is also a nine-digit code with no letters. It matches the engine number provided on my VVS documents, and the casting number is right for the application. There is an "M" cast into the block as well, which I assume is for McKinnon. There's no real mystery here about what the motor is or whether it is original, but I'm still wondering if anyone knows why some blocks got what seems more like a serial number than a code? Is there any significance to the numbers?

Canadian Mckinnion blocks in canadian built cars seemed to always use this nine digit number system,   at least with respect to chev and pont, beaumont etc.   I am speaking of early 60's thru mid 60's anyway.

I had a McKinnon Industries rear end on a 69 Chevelle years ago that was brutal to identify, still not 100% sure what it was. LOL
