Dave, At the time I bought the engine it was advertised as 1962 235 engine. I bought it for 75 dollars. It had a hydraulic clutch slave cylinder type clutch housing and the front mount like on the truck. This was before the internet was going. I sent the number off the engine to Car & Parts magazine. They told me it was a 1957 engine.
I remember the number started with an F, but I'd have to look to see what it was now. I know it has the oil line that comes off the rear cam bearing through a little screw in orfice and feeds the rocker arms on it.
