A new engine numbering system began this year. The
first two letters designated the manufacturing plant:
PM (Mound Road)
PT (Trenton)
OW (Windsor)
The next three digits indicated displacement: 170,225,318, etc.
The next letter designated model:
R (regular gas)
L (low compression)
T (standard-duty)
H (heavyduty)
The next four digits designated the date of manufacture, based
on a 10,000-day calendar. Last came a four-digit sequence number
for each day's production, starting with 0000 for LA318 engines and
5000 for all others.
• Example: [PT318T22040008]
This engine would be made in Trenton, with 318 cid displacement, standard compression, the eighth engine built on day no. 2204.
Serial numbers were on a plate on the left door lock pillar.
The 10-character number consisted of four elements. The first two
digits gave model code; the third digit was number of cylinders (6 or
8). The fourth digit showed assembly plant (1 for Warren Truck; 2 for
Warren heavy-duty; 6 for Windsor; or 7 for Missouri). The final six
digits made up the sequence number.
Model codes were as follows:

Engine numbers were located as follows:
(six) right side of block, below no. 1 spark plug;
(318 V-8) left side of block, below cylinder head;
(383 V-8) right side of block, adjacent to distributor.
Two engine numbering systems were used.

(GM=Mound Road; GT=Trenton; NM=Marysville; GW=Windsor).
Next three digits showed displacement. Next letter gave engine type
(R=regular 318 cid V-8; T=standard 225 cid six; H=premium 225 cid
six).
Next came a four-digit manufacturing date code based on a
10,000-day calendar. The final four digits were the sequence number,
which began with 0001 for each day.
The 383cid V-8 and other engines were identified as follows:
First letter indicated model year;
next letter indicated engine type (T=standard; H=premium);
next three digits, displacement;
next digit, assembly plant shift;
next four digits, manufacture date;
next two letters, non-standard engine indicator;
followed by four-digit sequence number.
