The block is May 9th of 61 235 engine. I think the 3836848 was used from 1956-1962 on the 235.

Ray,

Serial number information for 6 HK H 50335.

6. = Oakland Assembly plant

HK = 1950 model year, 2100 series, Styleline/Fleetline Deluxe

H = Month assembled (eight) August

Serial Number 50335 = 49335th Styleline Deluxe vehicle assembled at Oakland plant during the 1950 model year build.

The 848 head was used from 1956 and up . Casting was changed in 1956 for te difference in the temperature gauge. After that it was sold as a eplaceent for 195-1955 235 engines and an adaptor used for the older temp gauge fitting.

I have a engine which is stamped F918J. Can you tell what it was in from that? I know the block has a 58 casting number. I guess F is for Flint. Is 9 the year? What does the J mean? Thank for any info.

J = for a 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton truck with a 3 speed transmission.
9 is for month and 18 is for the 18th day of that month.
These codes were used for several years and do not indicate year.

What is the casting number?

The B indicates a 235 engine with Power Glide. dated Oct 11the 1960 which would be a 1961 engine.3764476 (note 476) casting number was used from 1958-1962.
3769716 listed as 1960 only.

Looks like the one engine came from a 58 truck. I checked and block is drilled for hydraulic lifters. Just waiting for next project. Runs good. Thanks Gene
