I need some help with my engine Identification. I have been working for over
two years on my 1952 3600/5W, working from the back bumper to the front.
Removed Ford rear axle, replaced broken front springs, new shocks and complete
new brakes and lines. (feel it is more important to stop than to go). Rebuilt
the bed and milled new floor boards. I have finally arrived at the engine. My
truck has turned out to be a "Heinz 57" varieties.
Here is all the information I can get from the head and block. All is painted
red.
The head has 3836850 and GM4 cast into the top by and on the carburetor side.
On the plug side at the top over the 3rd plug from the front is cast B35 8 8.
The valve cover is held down by 4 screws and the oil filler cap is at the front
rather than at the center.
The block has C O N 4 124 cast above and somewhat hidden behind the starter.
In front of the starter and just behind the distributor there is
stamped on a flat that sticks out at a 45 degree angle 0 I 0 3 3 I 8 F 5 5 U.
The ones are really the letter I but I believe this was normal for GM to do.
Cast at the front of the block is GM with 12 above it. The side plate appears
to be 5 to 6 inches tall.
I have not had any luck finding this engine listed. Could it be a car engine?
