I have seen that website and I do not use that one because I think it is not correct. That's why I cross reference multiple web sites to provide accurate information.
There is only ONE place for the engine code - on the pad.
What is the casting date on your block? With the block #, casting date, and pad code you will know for sure the YEAR and APPLICATION an engine is from.

Your source is the one that is incorrect. The S code was used 1962-64.
I own a '63 with an S code.

No, that is the casting number. Casting date is in the same area of the block, on the passenger side. Much smaller font size. Like E284 or similar.[/QUOTE]
Here are some good pics of the casting number, casting date, and engine pad of the 64 327 that was recently on Ebay
Casting date is located on the upper rear of the block, on the passenger side.

Verne is not talking about an "S" code engine, being in a 63 Corvette. The "63 with an S code" he's referring to, is in his 63 Impala Super Sport. It has an original 327/250 Powerglide "S" suffix code engine.
I agree with Verne, the single S suffix code was used to designated a 327/250 Powerglide, in 62, 63 & 64 full size Chevrolets. A single "S", was never used as a suffix code on any Corvette engine.

No disrespect to the original poster but I’m amazed at how often questions are asked, EXPERTS such as yourself answer, and the questioning of the answer goes on and on...

Because everyone wants to believe they have the one instance of a potential screw up to justify something they hope/want to be true. That post a few weeks back about the correct original color of the car, because the original poster found marina blue somewhere in the car, vs the trim tag stating it was white drove me crazy.
