Another Olds ID question *Block*

« **on:** January 29, 2008, 10:59:11 PM »

OK guys help me out again please... I can't figure out what block this is...

Oil fill is in valve cover. Guess someone blocked it off.

This is from the flywheel side

cant really see it in the picture but the #'s here look to be 38M607055

OK I just found this http://www.442.com/oldsfaq/ofblk.htm

So I have an Olds 1968 made in Lansing, but I still don't know the Casting Letter.

« **Reply #2 on:** January 30, 2008, 08:05:03 AM »

Is there a letter approximately 1 1/2" forward of the oil filter adaptor?
Best pic I got of it. $:-\$

Chaz looks like a 455 but post the casting #'s adjacent to the oil sender whats the bore measure ? Tom

there are no more readable #'s in the area by the oil pressure sending unit there might be the remains of a D but that would make it a 67 and the stamped #'s indicate 68'

« **Reply #6 on:** January 30, 2008, 04:22:06 PM »

my second olds motor had the oil fill blocked off with a freeze plug...ok by me..... thats all i got for you

« **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2008, 04:28:58 PM »

Well it is an F1 in Nickel content, that makes it the strongest 455 block. It is bored .040 and I cannot feel any ridge with my nail. I believe it to be '68 and it is for sale $200

NICE; a newbie, probably from HB, blasting a regular; maybe research posts to see if target has posted anything useful (along with some one-liners that don't mean much); you may see HotRod has contributed his share.

On the other hand, you're only 2 for 5:

Thanks Wanabe, I appreciated that.

JetLover, see you on the water. Actually since my sh!t ain't got a engine (again) I'll probably have to see you on the shore.

I know where you can find a nice block, some pistons w/rods, a cam and timing chain...

I really don't want to start off on the wrong foot here , but it seems like one guy who always complains about being broke standing up for the other guy who always complains about being broke! You guys must be friends or something.

I don't know where I've 'complained', although I've said that I don't have $$ to spend on my boat right now (not to mention, I'll compare my credit rating to yours any day);
Nevertheless, that's a pretty clever come-back; goes to show that, although you're a jackass, you're not completely stupid.

HotRod and and I got off on the wrong foot a long while back; I'll throw out to you what I threw out to him:

So, go back to lurking or become an asset to this community; btw, who have you helped out on this site?

I help the site by thinking if what i post will benefit the site before i post instead of posting stupid meaningless shit. Sometimes its better to say nothing at all. My post was a benefit to the site by telling hotrod to shut up for once.

And you are right , you don't really complain about being broke. You just repeat it over and over agin untill people feel sorry for and GIVE you parts. Too bad for you and hotrod they don't sell boat parts at the salvation army.

« **Reply #20 on:** January 31, 2008, 03:38:54 PM »

Somewhere along the line we went form asking about IDing an Olds motor to a childish war zone. I must have missed something somewhere along the thread. I'll go back and re-read to see what I missed.
