Found what number? If the # you found starts with 228 then indeed your engine is a 228.🛠

If that number is correct then it could be :

GMC also developed an OHV/pushrod engine in 1939. The 236-cubic-inch (3.9 L) 236 was produced through 1942.
Not good news as far finding parts.

If I starts with 236 I doubt it’s a 228.
