How can I tell if my 1956 235 engine is a 1st series or a 2nd series. I'm ordering a pan gasket set and LMC needs to know. thanks

I would skip LMC and go to your favorite auto parts store and get a Felpro gasket. They can look it up on their computer for the difference in the pan design. Also, you could go to Mortec.com and look it up yourself. I know that site has all the chevy v-8 casting numbers and should have you info as well.

This explains the extra cork gaskets in my rebuild kit. My 261 uses the first series gasket and the second series is definitely different.
