Lightbulb Engine casting numbers
I have a 1964 Olds F-85. I'm trying to figure out what CI engine I have. I have the casting number, but I can't find any sites where I can decode it. I'm thinking it's a 225, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas or know where I can go?

Six cyclinder or V8? If V8 there should be a number cast in the block. Right in front of the intake & by the oil fill tube. Post the number. If it's a 6, I'm lost.

How many plugs do you see?

The only info I have on a 64 V8 is the following:

Cast - 381917

    Cast - 394417

      If it's the original V6, it's a 225 Buick. If it's the original V8, it's a 330 Olds.
