Hello out there, I just recently purchased a 56 4 door hard top that has been parked for ten years. I was trying decode the the tags but any browser I find is all American versions. Is there any web sites that can break down Canadian codes? This car although being all original except for one repaint has a bad engine and Im trying to figure what engine it is. I is a V-8 power steering and power brakes car but it looks like a rod has come through the side of the oil pan and Im sure its made a mess of the cylinder wall. I would like to keep the car as original as possible but I also know it will never end up at a Barret Jackson auction. Thanks in advance and I like seeing that there is a following for these beautiful cars.
Vintage Vehicle Services have GM documents for GM vehicles sold new or built in Canada, they may have what you are looking for for. Not sure when the 283 arrived to replace the 265.

Welcome to the sight . Post the numbers from the data plate and I will try and help you out. Is this car the black one that was on Kijiji ? If so it looked pretty solid in the pictures.
