It is a full pressure lubed engine, that was produced for two years or less, they have the high mount water pump, and are easily swapped into older vehicles, so yes keep it or sell it. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 42 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 42 | Thank You 3B...That is very good to hear.I am gonna save up the money to get it rebuilt.Put it in my 47 truck .Thank You again...

The head code is supposedly not for a Corvette head but it is a 1953 code (most likely it has two bolts holding the valve cover to the head). Is there a serial number (code) pressed into the ledge in the block, just to the rear of where the distributor enters the block? This would help to confirm the original use/year of the block. If this is a Corvette block, it might be of great interest to anyone restoring a 1953-55 Corvette. Locations of codes are shown on this web page. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 42 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 42 | the codes i see are - con1 & c124. | | |
