How close are the engine date codes to the date on the pad ??
I have an engine stamped E 383 then 11 18 HP at the bottom.
The intake is dated 11 1? 68 can't read the 1 number very easy.
I don't have the water pump housing so that is why I am asking this question. The rest of the motor is all original.
I want to find a replacement pump housing before I rebuild the engine.
I found an 11 2 pump housing so would that be Good ??
Thanks for the info guys.
I have another 383 I will be doing next so this info will help me on that motor also.
Thanks, David
