#78742 06/13/2007 3:39 AM | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 114 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 114 | I have a inline 6 cylinder in a 1962 C10.
The casting number is 3836848.
And another number code F0123J.
I am trying to decode this so I know if this is a 235/261/292 (or even a later 230 or 250). I assume it is a 235, but not for sure.
Can anyone help me?
I went over to the INLINERS website, but was unable to find any match - if it was there I missed it. | | |

Hope that's right,

I found my casting number on hemmings website that indicates 3836848 is a 235 from 1956 car. So I'm not sure if this engine is original to the 1962 pickup. | | |

You need the number off the block behind the starter to really know what you have, since 235 heads can be put on 261's.

A 292 is one of the later family of engines and has no relationship to a 235 or 261. Just wanted to clear that up for you. | | |
