Obtained completely stock 305 engine removed at dealership years ago. Engine code / serial number is K0491560. Can anybody provide info on this motor, or where do I find it in this web site?? Can't seem to find identifcation lists. Thanks

 

are you sure you have the correct vin number? i cant find any small block that starts with a k.

 

Serial number just matches the last few numbers to the original vehicles VIN number. Get the stamped number sequence on the pad in front of the passenger side head. It will something like V0520CFT

 

Yes the engine # is K0491560. This may have been out of a early 90's passenger car or truck.More likely a car,probably not a firebird or camaro. Thanks for your help

 

Duh!! Not very good at all this computer stuff. I found your pic's when I clicked on your name.Brings back memories of drag racing days 30 years ago.

 

If K0491560 is the last part of the vehicle's serial number, K is the year code. K = 1989.

You need the suffix codes to know exactly what it was from. The serial number tells nothing.

 

I looked thru ebay 88-96 chevy vin #'s and I found two 89 Silverado & one 89 van all ending in K0000000.I agree at this pont it's an 89, 305 motor. I may never know what it came out of. Now I need to find out if everything on a 88Pont TA block is the same as this one.Hopefully no missing sensor holes or drilled at tapped mounting holes or whatever. Thanks all 3rd gen member that have helped out.

 

Stamped in the block right where the serial number is stamped will be a suffix code. Get that series of numbers.

All vehicles made in 89 will have a serial number in the K0000000 range
