That '53 powerglide 235 engine is what I have in my '50 3100. They came with Hydraulic lifters, insert rod bearings, and aluminum pistons. It was the first Chevrolet full pressure engine.
One note is that the crankshaft was not machined for a stock pilot bearing for a manual transmission. Dorman does sell one just for this application though.
