KLC Engine year

Post by sknowlton777 » Mon Aug 21, 2017 8:29 am

Hello-

Is it possible to tell what year a Chris Craft engine is from by the engine number ?

I have a KLC with an engine number of 60659

Thank you

Scott

A lot of CC engines have a casting date somewhere on the engine. I have seen them on the side of the block or on the top of the head or on the exhaust manifold. That will give you an idea when it was manufactured. My KBL engine has dates on the head and manifold.

Good luck,

Scott,
To answer your question. Sorta. The Mariners Museum in Newport News, VA has a series of books listing engines by serial number. Tells you what hull they originally went in to and date. Unfortunately they are closed for remodeling. Follow the advise Denis gives. Here is what you are looking for.

According to the CC Engine Master Records, KLC s/n 60659 was originally installed in hull CC-17-233 which
was shipped from Chris Craft on 2-4-1953
Hope this helps
