Hi all,
I've recently got a 455 that I'm stuffing into a 56j studebaker goldenhawk...more about that later. I need some parts for the motor so I'm first wanting to kniw the year of this motor. From reading various threads on this forum, it looks like it is an early 70s vintage, but the ID info and tables is a bit confusing to me.

If someone here could nail it down I'd sure appreciate it!

 

Need the #'s on the block stamped in not raised by the #1 spark plug.

 

Oops, my bad. I'll get those and post them. Thanks.

 

73-76 455

 

The number is 33X107151

So that makes it a 73, right? And the other first half numbers and letter. I'd appreciate if someone would decide that. Thabks for the help, all.

 

3 Olds Division
3 1973
X ? The assembly plant, someone help, I don't know which one
107151 the last 6 #'s of the VIN of the car.

Thanks much,

X = Kansas City

 

Does Kansas City narrow the body it would have been installed into?

 

Just to clarify, the X assembly plant is Fairfax, KS. The Kansas City plant was K in the VIN. Full size Oldsmobiles were built at the Fairfax Plant for the 1973 model year.

 

Thanks for the info, Joe.
