Engine date?
Could someone please give me an idea of the age of the engine in my '58?
I am told the number on the block is 50126D and it is a 327 engine. Unfortunately the car is in transit so I cannot check it any further at the moment.

In the absence on the block casting number, a "D" suffix code looks to be a '58 'or 60 283 powerglide engine 165- 175 hp used in cars and trucks. Block code could tell you more.
