By the way, Tim, I posted the block casting number a while back in another thread. You copied it to this thread and concluded that this motor began its life as a mechanical lifter engine in 1953. Fine by me, the engine has obviously been reworked a few times, someone must have converted it to hydraulic lifters. I have no idea how complicated that process is, but it sure isn't the same motor to adjust as the other mechanically lifted motors I have in the garage.
The engine's serial number doesn't seem to make any sense.
