Hi everyone! Looking for info on this motor just bought my wife a 1953 2 door sedan. The motor info doesn't match the car. I think it has a truck motor. I need to I.D. this because I'm looking to put a automatic in it. The casting numbers are Block # 3764476 Head casting # 3836848.
Serial # next to distributor SO 701L.

The serial number doesn't make much sense. There is no lidting for an "SO" plant code, and according to the Heritige site, the "L" application code is for a '57 265 V8. Very strange.
