I can tell you all 235s splash or full pressure used the same head in 1953. The only difference between a 53 head and a 54 and later head is the 53 head is not drilled for the four bolt valve cover.

The easiest way to tell if it is a splash engine is if it has the three screw kidney been cover on the left side of the engine.
