I bought a 235 from a guy he wasn’t sure what it came out of. I looked up the casting number {3701481} on Dave’s tec website and it shows it as a 1954, but the date code behind the starter (G303)says July 30 1953. It has hydraulic lifters in it. There is no serial number stamped on the ledge by the distributor and I have been told that it is probably a replacement engine. What I need to know is when I buy parts do I order 1953 or 1954 parts I have noticed in some parts book that there is some difference in 1953 and 1954 models.
