Chevrolet By The Numbers is the only authoritative reference for identifying and verifying, by casting number, the correct Chevrolet V-8 engine and drivetrain parts for your exact model. Part numbers can tell you what parts fit, but they can't tell you what part your car was originally manufactured with. Only casting numbers can tell you what a part's exact model and year application is, when the part was manufactured, and which plant made it. This book shows you where to look for casting numbers on parts and how to decipher their codes so you can be sure you have the correct part for your car. Only Chevrolet By The Numbers documents part casting numbers and applications using original source material from Chevrolet's archives. No other book has this authoritative factory information, including photographs, engineering blueprints, technical service bulletins, and build sheets. Most of this information has never before been seen in public. Restoring your Chevrolet to original factory specifications? You'll find the casting numbers that correspond to your car's Vehicle Identification Number to help you avoid buying the wrong parts. Buying a car? You'll find how to tell if it really is a "matching numbers" car. Interested in Chevrolet history?
