I'm talking to a guy who's selling a 235. The casting number on the block is 3836233 making it a '55-57 235 per inliners.org. However, he states there is also a plated attached to the block with screws which reads, CON4 G205. Does anyone know what this code is or what it might mean and why its attached via a screwed on plate? Also, without a doubt this is a full pressure engine right (since it's a '55 at oldest)? Thanks fellow Stovebolters!

It means it was cast on July 20, 1955. The plate was screwed onto the mold, not the block.

Thanks Cletis you rock. So, it would be full pressure right?

Now that is an obvious case of self-doubt.....
Rest easy big Tee...your doing fine.
