Where would I look on an inline six to find the casting numbers so I can figure out what type/size/year of motor I have in my 57 short-box? The motor in the frame of the LWB I have has a very wide scripted valve cover and this one has a narrower scripted valve cover.


Use a big enough catapult and even pigs can fly...remember nothing is impossible, impractical yes, but never impossible.

Look behind the starter motor for some large raised numbers. If the valve cover has waves in it for the headbolts it is a post-'62 230/250/292 but if it is smooth on the sides with 4 bolts it is a 235 or 261.
