I just bought a 51 3100 5 window Pick up, 4 speed. I decoded the Vin with no problem. Now I am having a problem with the serial # on the motor. On the head I have the number 3836848 with GM 12 underneath and then on the blue plate next to the oil dipstick near the Distributer I have the numbers B57 F 199597. these numbers dont match up with anything I can find on line. The B57 may actually be B557 but it the 5's are awful close together and looks like a double stamp.

My best guess is a 235 powerglide made in 57 in flint. How close am I? :confused:
