Here's why:
* Engine numbers are not standardized across applications. GM uses different numbering systems for their various truck, marine, and other engine lines.
* Without additional information, it's impossible to know the model or type of engine. You would need more details like the engine's model year, displacement, or the vehicle/boat it was originally installed in.
To find out what type of engine it is, you'll need to:
1. Locate the engine's model and year: This information is often found on a metal tag attached to the engine block.
2. Contact GM directly: They may be able to provide information about the engine based on the serial number.
3. Search online resources: There are websites and forums dedicated to GM engines that may have information about specific engine numbers.
Good luck!
