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.
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!

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.
