I'm new to this site but it looks awesome , if this is not the right place to post this , please let me know . I just purchased a 55 chevy pickup 2nd series, the vin and engine #'s are not comming up on any web site i have searched (like 10 or more ).right now I really need to know if the engine is original ,so i can start working on it , It's a straight six with a single barrel carb and 3 speed manual . here is the # 04489I8F562.I'm guessing it's not the original engine , but everything else seems to be , and it is complete. thanks in advance for any help . 55redstove
