That just about nails it down as the "new" high pressure" 1953 235 block and head from a Powerglide automobile.
E 13 3
May 13 1953
E 1 3
May 1 1953
Maybe someone else can help with the block and head casting casting codes?
The engine serial number is explained above.
The two-bolt valve-cover is appropriate for the 1953 235. It should have 18 head-bolts like the 54-63 235/261 engines (as opposed to the 15 head bolts on the earlier 216/235 engines).
It would be interesting to see the codes and features of a 1953 car engine and a truck engine that came from the factory with mechanical lifters.
