If CON L159 is the block date casting code:

15 = 15th
9 = 1959
If I am incorrect, someone will post a correction.

My sources indicate the 3733950 block casting code was used from 1955-1957.

The 3836850 heads were used from 1956-1962.

What is the engine serial number and the head date casting code?

Tim, not trying to be picky, but I believe "L" is November as they didn't use "I" (eye) because it looks to much like 1...am I wrong about this?
