I don't know what engine size these came with. Is it a 216 or 235 ?? How can I viually see the difference. Whatever it is...it runs pretty good. Thanks

Thats the main way I can tell the difference. I think that a 3/4 ton has a 235 But Im not sure. This is my minorly educated answer.  Jess

It's located just in front of the distributor (right side) above the oil pan rail. A head casting number would also help. It's located on the top of the head next to the valve cover (left side) above the second exhaust port.

Also, in 1950, the 235 was identical in looks to the 216 and was also a low pressure, babbit bearing engine. The numbers are really the only way to be certain.
