Re: olds 455 engine id
I know that casting was used from '68-'72.
Its pre '72, the compression should be 8.5 to 1 also. was used in many cars.

Re: olds 455 engine id
That should be a 455. If it's indeed a 306021F block it's a 68-72 block. But you need to look carefully as most you'll find will have a smaller A next to the F, these blocks were 73-76.
If you want to be sure of the car and exact year you'll need to check the vin on the side of the block. It's located just under the #1 cylinder plug hole on base of the block (where the head meets it) |
