Hey you guys, I have a 62 Olds that I'm gonna put in my 56 olds 4 door sedan. I got the motor and trans from a buddy of mine. The trans is a th that has been made to fit a early olds engine. That's a plus! But what I'm trying to figure out is if this motor is a high compression or a low compression ?

I know the motor has been gone threw at one point it does have a 4 barrel intake on it and someone painted it red to look like a high compression, but the research I did is coming up nowhere. I posted pics of the casting numbers on the left side head center exhaust port and the numbers on the back of the motor as well. Any help to identify what this is would be greatly appreciated.

Those engines when factory installed will always have dual exhaust. You can also look on the left head, just below the valve cover and above the center exhaust ports. The engine ID number is there. An H prefix indicates a 2-barrel engine. A J indicates 4-barrel. No suffix indicates standard An L indicates an 8. An S is As an example J would mean a H is a HL is a low compression 2-barrel. Those were green and usually found only in Dynamic 88s.

JS is a Starfire engine. Joined: Sep 23, Posts: 50, Profile Page. F should be a 8. Joined: Aug 29, Posts: 15, Profile Page.
