when looking up the codes, do you just use the last two letters?

so F0813RE = RE - 292cid w/manual trans

F0889CCA = CA - 230cid w/manual trans (I was told this one was a 250)

Someone just posted this page:

starting in 1969, they used 3 letters, so the last would be CCA, not CA...

CCA comes up as a '73 Chevelle 250. Are the pistons dished or flat top? what is the casting date code?


I'll have to get back to you. I'm in the middle of moving, so it might be a while.

With some of the snags I've been hitting with this engine install, I've decided to focus some attn to some other things on my car:
