Can someone tell me how to tell what engine I have. I bought my 2nd 53 chevy 1/2 ton recently and the other block from my other truck was set up differently. I found out that the engine and transmission were used 55-59 or something so did they use the bigger engines for those years or what. My guess is that its a 235, but who knows. I am pretty sure that the other block I have is a 216. thanks

Find your block casting number and compare it to the casting number chart at Inliners International.

Just behind the starter on the side of the block, startswith CON4 or something like that


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
