can one of you guys with the "books" decipher this engine # for me, or tell me somewhere I can look it up. Its for a 6 cyl believed to be a 55 engine. Thanks for what you can tell me.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

The B suffix was used on '57-'62 235 car engines with powerglide. It was also used on the '63 and '64 full-size car 230 with powerglide. You'll have to find the block date code to pinpoint the year.

There should be a year code on that block somewhere. I think it's behind the starter.
