I just bought a 54 chevy 3100 half ton. The engine ID does not match anything I am familiar with (ID # 052T397F54M). I beleive this to be a remanufactured engine and I would like to know who did it and the actual year of the engine. The head is a 3836848 (GM29) and I beleive it to be newer than 1954.
I may not restore this truck but I if I need parts I would like to know the particuliars.

Welcome to the Bolt.

Your engine serial number decodes as a 1954 Flint engine manufactured for a 3100 with an automatic transmission.

http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/54057.htm

Your cylinder head is listed as a 1956 head here

http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/chevytalk/GMhistory/1916-57cast.html

and as a 1955-57 passenger car head at this site.

Someone else can probably clear up any confusion.

Hope this helps
