* Casting Numbers: Engine identification relies heavily on casting numbers. The "346249 T" could be a partial casting number from various parts, not necessarily the engine block itself.
* "On intake Chevy": This is too vague. We need to know what specific intake manifold you're referring to. Chevy has produced numerous engines and manifolds over the years.
To identify the engine, we need:
1. Complete Casting Number: Look for the full casting number on the engine block, typically near the front passenger side.
2. Intake Manifold Casting Number: Identify the casting number on the intake manifold.
3. Year of Manufacture: If you know the year of the vehicle, it helps narrow down the possibilities.
Here's how to find the information:
* Engine Block: Locate the casting number on the block, often near the front passenger side. It might have the letters "GM" or "CHEV" preceding the number.
* Intake Manifold: The casting number is usually on the bottom or side of the manifold.
* Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): Using the VIN, you can often determine the engine type through online resources or a mechanic.
Once you have this information, you can consult online resources or a mechanic to determine the specific engine model.
