Looks like a 1957 - 235ci engine. Don't know where made.
Here's a link to a decoder .

I'll repeat my answer from your other post. Since the AD is a prefix, rather than a suffix, it is an earlier engine--a '41 216 (originally built at the Flint plant) used in the 1/2-ton trucks.

You could verify this by checking the block casting number on the Inliners site.

Thanks, now if anyone knows who the rebuilder could be I could call them with their stock # and maybe find out if it was converted to inserts or still a babbitt engine! (and when rebuilt) I don't want to make a boat anchor out of a good engine....!!!

shipwright, I checked the decode but it came up unknown. This engine also has a rebuild tag on it that says Automotive Engine (or engineering)with the stock #. This is in a 37 pickup and I only got one glance at it. I didn't get to check the usual things to determine or rule out anything and the guy called me with the engine serial #. I'm just trying to do some home work.
