Tim and Danny,
I'm not sure what catalog those images came from, but I found them in these Ebay posts.
VC 435 on Ebay VC 310 on Ebay I also found some others that resemble the VC 435, with various claims as to the model and years that they would apply to.
1116076 1918889 V539 59-62 car and truck? E1169 V541 076 for 53-54 Vette? It's enough to make your head spin. I am starting to have some doubts about the identification of this engine. I took a quick look at the block numbers this morning and came up with:
Stamped by distributor: F630B
Cast above starter: CON8 F258
I'm less certain of the second number above as it was hard to read. I will try to get a better read of it tonight. I'm having trouble matching up these numbers with the references available here and from other online sources. At any rate, I'm fairly certain that it was made on June 30th at the Flint factory sometime about or prior to 1960 (since the month in the stamped code does not have the leading zero). I am also suspecting that it was orignally mated with a Powerglide and not a Hydramatic due to the "B" at the end of the number stamped by the distributor.
Any thoughts?
