Chevy 283 engine

I have a Chevy 283 engine in my 1956 Chevy Bel Air. Casting #'s are 3737739. The previous owner thought the engine could be a Corvette engine but he did not know? Mortec shows it to be a 1959–1962 and other places have the engine a 1957–1959. I would like to know the exact year of this engine.
Thanks, Wild guy.......

I checked the Engine serial number and suffix for the Chevy 283 engine 3737739. The stamp is F614FC. Now the C is really closed so it could be a G at the end. However, I am doubtful that this is a Corvette engine, but I need to know what year this engine is and if it is a Corvette engine.

Thank you, Wildguy........

The casting number is 1958. See if the block has three holes
on each side where side motor mounts would go, if so it is
a 1958. The F614FC is curious because the F=Flint engine
plant, 6=june, 14=day of month, but the FC is a 1957 suffix
for powerglide trans with 4 barrel carb. In 1958 the FC suffix
was used on 348 engines. The motor may be an early 1958 283
used at the end of the 1957 run.

I have a 1957 Bel Air 283 with a F6IIFC block stamp, could it be the same as the above posting…Flint June 11 4 bbl with powerglide? However the serial numbers reflect a poduction date of May 1957 at the Oakland, CA plant.

I have a GM engine with the numbers 3834810…I would like to know if anyone can tell me car or cars this motor was in..Thank you

I have an early 283 casting # 3737739 FI204E. Can anyone identify what car it's from?

3737739 casting number is a 283 from either a 1958–9 Corvette or a 1958–61 passenger car.

I'm trying to figuire out what engine I have.

I have what I think is a 1958 283ci engine. The casting number on the rear of the engine is 3737739.

In addition, on the tab in front of the passenger side head reads: T725D.

There are three holes on each side where motor mounts would bolt to.

Can you provide insight to what I have?

Thank you.

3737739 1957–64 283 170–290 hp 2 bl

Also the casting number was used for 220–290hp Corvette's

In addition to the casting number for the block, there is also a casting number for the month, day and year. Example 3737739 and H277 equals GM 283 with a casting date of August 27, 1957

I have a old chevy motor To324S on the front of the motor and 8885100 on the back of the motor. Can anybody help me tell what the motor is?
