49ratty, that is more than likely a 216. The short side cover engine came original in my '52 Canadian GMC. If I recall that engine was used in '51 and '52 half tons. It seems to me I had to use a 235 head gasket even though it's a 216. Also, I think the intake and exhaust ports are ever so slightly larger and it takes a slightly different manifold.
I doubt it is from a car. I swapped in a 216 from a '51 Chev passenger car and the Chev had the tall side cover.
Someone will be able to run that code and tell for certain.
