the low rpm range certainly suggests a diesel.

Agree it's in diesel rpm range. But could also be stovebolt range. Isn't 3000-3500 the working range for a stovebolt engine?

thats the useful rpm range for sure, but if i recall correctly the redline for a 6-cyl of that era is around 4200. i figure the tach for a gasoline stovebolt would run up to 4500. but i'm speculating.

The seller said he bought a group of parts to get the parts he wanted.

I recall reading that a 216 engine redlined somewhere around 3,200 and a full pressure 235/261 redlined somewhere around 3,800-4,200, but can't seem to put my fingers on that documentation.
