The BE suffix in the engine serial number was used for '60-'62 passenger car 235's with powerglide and power steering. The block date code says '62.

The "848" head is the most desirable 235 head that at some point around '56 or '57 became the standard head for all '53+ 235's.

The 3708134 PG transmission case with the 3719240 "2nd design" housing is from a '55-'57 6-cyl. passenger car. '56 was stated, and the date codes confirm that year. I don't know the difference between the 1st and 2nd design 6-cyl. PG housings, but they both should bolt up to the 235.
