engine id by pad #
i have what is supposed to be a somewhere around 1966, 327, 300 horse engine with the pad # "F04288W". what does that decode to? although this is in a non-gm car i was hopeful i could get a clarification from the forum on this. (i do have a vette if that will somewhat legitimatize my request). thank you.

Looks like there were 4 codes for a 66 327/300...
HE . 327 .300 . Manual Trans.
HH . 327 ..300 .. K19 & ManualTrans.
HO . 327 .300 . Powerglide
HR ..327 ..300 .. K19 & Powerglide
It would need to have one of these 2 letter codes instead of 8W.
If a Chevy engine, F is for Flint, and 0428 for April 28.
