- 1). Open the hood and view the engine from the front on the passenger side.
- 2). Look for the engine code. According to the Chevy-Camaro website, the code is located on a machined pad directly forward of the passenger-side cylinder head, on the front of the engine block. A sample code reads "F0114CSB," with the first position designating the assembly plant, the second indicating the month, and the third marking the day of the month. The following letters -- CSB -- are the suffix that will identify the engine when referenced to a Chevrolet suffix listing.
- 3). Reference the engine code to a Chevrolet listing, similar to the one found on the 73-87.com website. When matched to this listing, the suffix code "CSB" is identified as a 1973 400-cubic-inch engine with 175 horsepower, originally installed in a Chevy Caprice.
