It's been a while since I have been on here. I have been trying to decode the components on my truck. I think I have it nailed down with the exception of the Engine ID number:
Block Casting #: 3837004 (55-57 from a car is what I understand)
Date Code: F107 June 10, 1957
Head: 3835913 (55-57 car with power glide)
Manifold: 3754844 (58-62)
Engine Serial: F6I4A (and the "I" is stamped like an I not a 1)
The engine serial format does not seem to follow what I have found in any resource. I've also read that in 1957 they quit using the sequential serial numbers. Is there a definitive source to look this up?
Full pressure with hydraulic lifters?
IF anyone can confirm or deny/correct this information I'd appreciate it.
