I'm new to this site and I was excited to see a whole site dedicated to inline 6 engines as I know nothing about engines (general knowledge of cars though). So I have a chevy stepvan. 1947 to be exact. Numbers above the carburetor are 3835499. Is this engine original to this stepvan?

DesertBoss - First off Welcome to Stovebolt! wave

The "Welcome Centre" is the place to introduce yourself and your truck, which you have a start on, but we would love to see the whole truck and hear more about its story here. wink Your question on the engine identification would be better asked in the Engine Shop forum and will lead to more details and probably questions to help you figure out what you have.

Perhaps you can repost the "engine" question in that forum and use this thread to fill in your introduction info?

BTW - You might want to read this Welcome Post to help you learn and navigate Stovebolt before doing too much posting. wink

Once again - Welcome thumbs_up
