My son just purchased a 47 International with a Chev 6 engine and I need to identify it before we can make plans on whether to keep it or not. The engine is unusual to me because it has a narrower valve cover than normal, and the intake manifold is cast as an integral part of the head.
The casting number of the head is 356796, it has a high energy distributor, and the late model bell housing bolt pattern. I have been looking all over the internet trying to figure out how to identify the engine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bob
