Howdy all!
I realize this is a truck forum, but since many engines were shared back in the day, I was hoping someone here might be able to help identify the engine in the '54 210 I just purchased. I'm very familiar with restoration and engine work, but exclusively on V6/V8. Inline is a new challenge!
I'm fairly certain it is Blueflame 235cid, as the car has an automatic. However, I know there were changes from '53-'54 with regards to the oil pressurization. I'm trying to sort out which exact power plant I have, as the normal identification location seems to be missing any sort of numbering after I de-greased.
Also, as you can see, at some point in the past the head has run away from the vehicle. Once identified, anyone know of a reliable source of cylinder heads? My google searching turned up nothing.
Thanks in advance!

Edit - Forgot to mention, this is a Canadian vehicle! First picture shows the ID Tag from under the hood.
