Have a 1937 Chev. 1 1/2 ton truck. Number on engine is the same as on the title dating back to 1974. I understand the engine # was used on title in some states. How do I find the casting #, or engine #for 1937?

Phillip,

Welcome to Stovebolt.com

If the 1937 216 is the same as later 216s, here are locations of various codes.

Post your codes here and people will help you figure out what you have.

Thanks for the info.
I kept searching until I found out what I needed. Found out I had a 55 235cid.

If you have a 1955 engine and the title matched the engine, you should confirm the title has the correct year. Also, don't get rid of that engine as that's the only link to your title. Call you local DMV to see what you need to do if you want to swap engines.

If you are planning on modernizing it I would check with the DMV about using the serial number on the title instead of the motor number.
