While I agree with Bill, numbers are the only way to be 100% sure, the fact it has the old valve cover AND the long pushrod cover make me think something is rotten in Denmark. It certainly isn't a '58 vintage engine...I'll bet it's an old 216. Caveat emptor!

It could have been converted to insert rods. But you have to change the crank to get oil to them, hope that helps. | | |
