Sorry, Let me rephrase this. I have the ID number, can someone remind me where to find out the year, etc. I know it is the not original motor, the valve cover is from a later model. Thank you, Scott

I'm assuming you want to sit in your chair and find on the internet the specific application for your engine based on it's serial number. I know of no place to do that. However, by the date code, you can find out when the block was cast. This was pointed out in your previous post. Talk about getting old.

con 4 1 29 9 - jan 29 '59? is that 1 an I for sept?

my '58-'62 block has con 4 A 11 1, and it's my understanding that it means jan 11th '61. and on the distributor 'ledge' is, F0111A, which repeats the day/mo/yr but also says that it came from the flint, mi plant

rednate, yours is a '61 passenger car base 235. A truck engine would have had a J, JB, or JC code.

F0111A, passenger car base 235 - ok. but that wouldn't affect the conveyor 4 A 11 1 would it? the A 11 1 is still the designation for january 11th '61 correct?
