Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 173 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 173 | Looking for assistance in identifying a 235 engine.
From the head and block casting numbers, appears to be 1956-1962
3836848
3769716
The number behind the starter is L 13 1 <--- Dec 13, 1951 or 1961???
Best I can read the serial number behind the distributor is I2I4B <--can find
Intake 8754844
Exhaust 8885587
Also found B54 848 850
Oil filler is in the center of the cover.
I've looked at some of the sites for decoding the numbers, but the serial numbers/date code don't seem to line up with the formatting, etc.
Thank you in advance!

You cannot determine the model GMC truck from the Engine Serial Number A228I94608 - A 228 194608A228 A = modifications to the engine/block from "normal" (marked at the engine plant) 228 = 228 engine 194608 = sequence number If there is an ID plate on the driver's door jamb, that will hold the series/model code.Unfortunately, many states (and DMV offices) used the Engine Serial Number for registration/title purposes. This does not uniquely ID the truck, and does not ID the model of the truck). | | | | | Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 30 Olddog | | Olddog Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 30 | My apologies for not understanding I should start a new topic, old and slow I guess.
However, I do thank you, and appreciate all help.
