6? LeSaber???

While crusing Ecology I found a early 60's Lesaber w/nail head intact. W/o going back how do I determing the cid of thisnailhead and anyone see parts they can use???

And 4 of the dash...

 

Looks like a 62 to me!

 

I don't know the year of the car, but on the front of the engine where the valley pan lip is, look for the stamped numbers. Here is a guide to decipher them. My guess is that is a 401, but could be a 364. From the interior shot with the column shifter, it appears to have a dynaslow, so that makes it 63 and earlier. 64 and up have the ST400.

364 ci ??

I didn't think the 401 came with a 2bbl?? I would guess it's a 364

 

Thanks for the info, hopefully its still there monday...

 

Re: 364 ci ??

You could get the 1962 or 1963 modelyear 401 with a 2 or 4 bbl carb.

In the interiorpicture I noticed that LeSabre is written as Le Sabre? In every book and manual it's listed as LeSabre o No:

 

Yea, It's a 62 for sure. If it is the correct motor that came in the car it has to be a 401, that's the only size there was for full size cars in 62

 

Same front end as my brother's '62 Invicta wagon.

 

sure is a shame that car is goin to waste wish i knew where it was and that it was near by id pick it up for the shell and bring her back from the dead

 

oh yeah thats a 62' it may be a 364 but it can be a
