Long story short, I'm trying to identify my engine. It's not stock and it's newer than my EC (84)

I have the casting number and the engine suffix identifier
14102058
K0410FAK

Now, here's what I've discovered. It's a 305, 87 or newer, assembled in Ontario on the 10th of April. And the FAK suffix doesn't seem to exist. :dontknow:

If anyone can help me out, it'll be appreciated. I'm going to see if I can't crawl under there and see if the VIN is on there somewhere

1987 , 305 , truck ,150HP,L-03,TBI

Where did you get this information (so fast)?

They are called books. When some of us had money and jobs, we bought them. Glad he was able to help you.

Me too, thanks!

books are old school , we have the internet ,unfortunately you have to look at a million websites before finding good ones . Here is a good link for small block suffix codes

Thanks and thanks. Yeah, I looked at about 25 websites before I finally gave up and posted here.

Books may be old school, but usually the information has been tried and tested. I can usually find the right stuff in my manuals faster, than searching the internet.......:nanawrench:Some times too much information, too fast, although, gotta love the link for small blocks............Sod

Mortec.com is also a great place to look up all your casting numbers.

I would agree there are some excellent books , but i have found lots of reference books with incorrect info . I am sure that the good websites and the good books are sharing the same original data resources . I myself do not have manuals with suffix codes so I searched until I found a good website . How did we ever survive without the internet ?
