I have a block with the casting code of 3835911 and a distributor pad stamped number that shows up as that for a 1954 Corvette.
Hoyt,
To help us all better understand the 3835911 block will you post your distributor pad stamped number and the block casting date code.
There are 2 different 3835911 blocks. One with small cam journals and one with large cam journals that was for the 53-55 corvette.
Thanks for your help.
