Could someone please give me as much information about it as possible? Numbers cast in the block: conv-3 836409 I 2 1 (chevy symbol) 27 XX Serial number stamped on the raised face: 29 25375 Thanks!

Given a date of September 2, 1931, it would not be technically correct for your 29. Chris Chris Geiger #35228
