Was für ein Motor?

[Wesch]

Hallo

Ein paar interessante Antworten aus dem US Forum:


the stamped VIN beside the Suffix is C9F16152.
The VIN stamp seems to indicate that the engine is out of a 1979 Chevrolet truck (9), assembled at the Flint MI truck assembly plant (F).


Any idea to which of the 3 possibilities this points to ?
Yes, I'd say the engine is a 79 350/165 originally installed in a 1/2 or 3/4 ton Chevy truck with a manual trans and US Federal level emission equipment.

Also der LS9 , der nie in eine Corvette verbaut wurde.
Auszug aus Wiki: GM previously used the LS9 RPO code on 1969 and later Chevrolet trucks (both 2WD and 4WD) including Blazers, Jimmys, Suburbans, as well as car carriers. The original LS9 was a 350 cu in V8, developing 160 hp and 245 Ft/lbs of torque.


What does C10 to 3500 mean ? C10 is a date, but to 3500 ?
"C10" is not a date, it was the model designation for the size and capacity of a particular line of Chevrolet trucks.

C10 was the designation for a Chevrolet 1/2 ton pick-up, with rear wheel drive. 2500 and 3500 indicated a 3/4 and 1 ton truck, respectively, though I think they were actually marketed as C20 (3/4) and C30 (1 ton) at the time. The same designations were used with a "K" in front of them, when the truck was equipped with 4 wheel drive: K-10, K-20 & K-30.


And shouldn't truck engines be tall deck blocks ? The 3970010 block is a pax car block also used in Corvettes.
Or is this casting # also produced as tall deck ?
Tall deck blocks were generally big blocks, and usually found in larger commercial trucks, not pick-ups.

Hmm, natuerlich, tall blocks waren BB. Mann, ich vergesse schneller als ich lerne.

Alles in allem, bleiben noch Fragen ueber jetzt ?
