I know what this is !

This is an unusual small-block built in 63-64. I don´t think the intake is correct, but focus on the dampner, the stamped code and the valve covers. What car was this engine installed in originally ?

Acadian 283 even though Chris-Craft had similar covers.

Paul, I googled the information I got from the owner of the 283 engine and it seems like it was factory installed in a 1966 model. Not a -64 like he said. It was made in Canada but not for an Acadian. Try again.

So for '66 that would be the Beaumont (now being a separate model) and the Parisienne. -?

You guys are exactly on the right track!
I have some/not all Canadian numerical suffix listings, suffix ‘77’ noted below.
'77' is one of the most common that shows up and was factory equipment in a lot of Canadian built 1966 model year cars.

i have a set of those valve covers,they came from a 327 chevy factory installed in a combine. i dont remember if it was a Massey or International. its was a 68 large journal 4 bolt block.3.25 stroke crank

The guy that had this one said it came out of a Studebaker, which I thought was odd. Seems like suffix &quot;77&quot; was used in Studebakers as well if you look at the pics below. If the engine number starts with 776 it seems like it was used in 1966 Studebaker models.
