The stamping on the serial number pad is F1127A. I translate this to be Flint, November 27, and the A means standard 235, model 15-21-2400. See this link 1957 235 identification It had solid lifters. Is this a truck motor or a base model stick shift car motor?

I thought that by 1957 the passenger car engines had all gone to hydraulic lifters. I guess not. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | I was told (always dangerous) that all 1956-1962 passenger car 235s had hydraulic lifters. This Master Parts Catalog does not show mechanical tappets (lifters) on a 6-cylinder passenger car engine in 56-57. | | |
