Is this a car or truck motor, what type of cam & lifters would be in it, hydralic or solids? | | |

The casting date of 3/6/59 fits with the build date of 3/7 (the 307 part of the serial number). The B suffix from the serial number is for the 235 equipped with a powerglide transmission. That would make it a car engine with hydraulic lifters.
