Motor block number?

[Deleted User]

Would anyone have their book/manual nearby, we straighten up and I have misplace my manual that indicated what type vehicle this engine block came in?



The number is 49250689



Any help is appreciated, Thanks, Bob

The block is from a 1949 Commodore Six. It is a 262 CID narrow block.

Thanks, appreciate the info. Bob



Is the aluminum head a dealer installed option or did they come that way?



This motor has the aluminum head, but no cast marks to identify the cubic inches. Thanks, Bob

The 1948-1954 Monthly production list in my General Infor Handbook, for another bit of trivia, shows that car was produced sometime in January 1949 (39794-57741).
