I think the engine serial number format changed for '57 to include the date code (with the month as 1 or 2 digits, and the day as 2 digits, and no year). If I'm right, F=Flint engine plant, 56=model year, X=type code=235 from 3100 series. So your engine is a '56. Was there a sequence number stamped before the F56X on the pad by the distributor?
