The Stovebolt Site Forums Swap Meet Truck Parts For Sale Engine or parts

I have the engine removed from my 1950 3600 truck that I am going to sell as is or in parts before I scrap what's left. I was told the engine was converted to 12v and ran prior to my purchase but I never tried to run it. The bell housing etc. for the 4 speed manual transmission is still attached as well as any parts inside the bell housing.

I will provide pictures in the near future, but the engine information I previously determined includes:

Engine ID reported to be a 235 made between 1957 and 1962 for the passenger cars with 3-speed transmissions. T = Tonawanda Engine Plant; 8 = Month (August); 06 = Day; A = Regular 235 for passenger cars with 3-speed transmission. Subsequent engine block (3737004) casting and cylinder head (3866848) cast numbers determined. Also located tag that indicates it is bored 0.060 oversize, have 0.010 undersize rod journals, and I believe 0.010 undersize crank journals.

I will plan to identify the carburetor (if I can) but if there are any other parts that require identification please let me know.

To conform with forum rules I am listing the complete engine price as $200 or best offer as is, where is.

I will do my best to answer any questions.

A few pictures just to show the general shape of things.

The carburetor is a Rochester but I did not find any additional numbers to identify it.

Looks like a good deal IMHO. I'm good in the engine department at the moment, so can't help with a new home. Hope someone can helpf it find a new home.

PS - As a 3 speed engine, it would have been equipped with solid lifters.

Best of luck!

Likely not to work out but where are you in Wisconsin?

I'm near Chilton Wisconsin, about 40 miles SW of Green Bay or 75 miles NW of Milwaukee.

I have no information about the engine internals, but if it was originally equipped with solid lifters, I suspect that it still is.

Thanks but even though I have a buddy that goes out west that way I think you're too far off the beaten path for him to swing by. Thanks anyway!

Depending on where your buddy travels we may be able to meet somewhere. I am not opposed to meeting somewhere along I90 west of Chicago if it would mean the engine is useful rather than being scrapped.
