hi all,
I need to know what engine id number I have for ordering parts. I don't see any plates or markings any where. I do have a number stamped on the cylinder head can that tell me? the reason I need to know is when I go to local shop to order parts they always ask me what modle the engine is and I don't know. I just know the year and that' its a chevy.
any help would be great

I want to replace the impeller with a Volvo one the dealer says he needs to know what motor I have. because there are many different modles he said. I have done very well at replaceing almost everything on this motor by shopoing for 1989 sbc. I just thought it would be nice to have the model number so I don't have to do the song and dance everytime. I had bad luck with the sierra impeller

From the casting numbers on the port side of the engine block towards the rear, you could tell if it's a 305 or a 350. But don't know if this is what you want or not.

Ayuh,.... I thought the OMC impeller pump is in the outdrive,..??

I know Volvo uses a motor mounted raw water pump,...

So parts for the Volvo won't fit the OMC anyways,...

You need an 18-3348 if you're replacing the hole pump, or 18-3212-1 if you just need a repair kit.
I've had very good luck with Sierra parts and their warranty is better than OEM.

If you're looking for a better parts listing try http://www.sierramarine.com/pdfcatalog/2014sierra/2014searchmain.html
and then enter the part number into the search box of the Boat Parts and Accessories at the top of this site.
