1957 Chevrolet 283 Complete Engine 3731548 Block Casting Number on 2040-parts.com
Mount Pleasant, Utah, United States
|
This engine has been sitting in the engine bay of an old Willys truck in a barnyard for the last 30 years. The owner didn't know anything about the motor other than he "thought" it was a 283. It turns out it's a 1957 283 with a factory 4-barrel built in Flint. The block casting # is 3731548, and the stamped engine code is F226FC. It's complete, shows no sign of trauma, and looked like it was in running condition when last parked. The dipstick shows very clean oil, about a half a quart low. I've tried to turn it over by hand only, and it does not want to move. I have not tried to force the issue.

2012 Infiniti M35h gets cheaper to run
Thu, 29 Mar 20122012 Infiniti M35h gets more frugal The 2012 Infinit M35h has been tweaked to lower its emissions and improve its economy, meaning real savings for company car drivers. We’re not the biggest fans of hybrid powertrains, it’s true to say, but that has more to do with the staggering amount car makers charge to offer the complex technology. But Infiniti is different, and their M35h costs just £1180 more than the comparable M30d with a diesel engine.

Dodge Viper takes Nurburgring Record – sort of
Fri, 16 Sep 2011Dodge Viper - new Nurburgring record Back in 2008, the Dodge Viper ACR went to the Nurburgring and proved that cars built in the former Colonies really can go round bends, even bends at the ‘Green Hell’ of the Nurburgring. Not only could the Dodge Viper go round bends, but it made a pretty good fist of blasting down the straights too, culminating in a record-breaking lap of 7:22.1. But since 2008 things have moved on, with even a Lexus LFA posting a ‘Ring time of 7:14.64, so the SRT has returned to the Nordschleife to set about squeezing a bit more out of the Viper.
