Danchuk has a section in their catalog (Sec 17) which gives most of the original specification data for our cars. You should be able to find it there since you want to look it up yourself..

PS. MOST of the vendors maintain such sections (probably to help their sales people more than helping their customers)..
If you can't find what you're looking for, then hit us with your detailed questions..

Yes, The first V8s (1955) were a little different than later, as
1) the first set of numbers (0294312) is a sequence number for the engine (think of it as the 'engine serial number'). In a few states, this stamping was used as the vehicle serial number on the title, as VIN plates were new at the time.
The remainder of the engine stamping is more consistent with later years.
2) The 'T' means the engine was assembled at the GM Tonawanda (NY) engine plant.
3) '55' is of course the model year.
4) and the suffix 'FB' indicates a 4-bbl, 205 hp 265 ci, driving a Powerglide trans in the Passenger car.
There is an engine number as described above and a VIN on the body. They are different, but every original car had both.
Bama's comment was about which of these is on the title.
[QUOTE=roadster601@aol.com;57049]hello C55T084072 is on the title, OK so a NEW question could this be a 6 cylinder #, so i read a the letter V would be for a 8 and no letter would be a 6 is this true cross the board.now the engine#02943I2T55FB any help...Ty
