Is this a Corvette engine? What puzzles me is the F0219S code.
Any experts know this one.

Yeah, that is strange. 63 had an SC for 250HP auto, and SD for 300 HP auto but no plain S that I know of.

S is for a passenger car used for Impalas and trucks with a 283 and 327. for 63 it was 327/250 with a power glide and a 4 barrel carb for a Impala

Its a 250hp 4bl power glide Feb 19 1962

It can't be a 62 as the castin date is B93 as in Feb. 9th 1963.
I have a bid in on it so I geuss if I get it I can have it decked
and leave the pad blank. Is there anyone near Minerva Ohio
that migh be willing to check it out for me?

Anyone have any idea how much this bare block would weigh?
I would need to have it shipped from Seller to Port Huron Mi.

Here is another site for decoding http://www.348-409.com/suffixsb.htm . As far as shipping out of country its foreign to me

Passenger cars had 1 character suffixes, Corvettes had 2 character suffixes, and I think trucks had 3 character suffixes in the late 50's and 60's.

Not true on 65 and up

I have a '66 Chevy truck with a 283, it has a 2-letter suffix. ("WA" - 283/175hp 2 bbl)

That's correct - the single-character "S" suffix was used for many years from '57-up for truck and passenger car Powerglide applications. Corvette engines never used a single-character suffix.
