Here is what is on the passenger side of the block, by the dip stick (on the polished surface) 0I73646 F54N It is in a 1951 two ton. I have spent quite a bit of time and all I can find is that it is likely a 1954 engine. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Scott | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/54057.htmCongratulations, that 6000 series heavy duty engine is most likely a 261. Post the block and head casting numbers, if you wany a confirmation. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 66 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 66 | Here are the head casting numbers:

That is the way they appear on the head. Also, I see the two "captain's bars" on the block near the starter.

Not all 261's have the captains bars. I had one that didn't. | | |
