The following block casting numbers are from a list I have, but I don't recall where I got it. Maybe some others here can confirm them: 1929 - 835501 (all) 1930 - 836409 (all) 1931 - 836409 (all) 1932 - 836573 (all) 1933 - 837231 (CA Master) 1933 - 473180 (CC Std.) 1933 - 837231 (Truck) 1934 - 837231 (DA Master) 1934 - 473741 (DC Std.) 1934 - 837231 (Truck) 1935 - 836010 (all) 1936 - 836010 (all) -Bob

I believe that 1935 is 837597 and kwow 1936 is 836010.The 836010 1936 full length water jacket engine was used as a replacement for the original 1935 in the later years.

Chip is correct, ALL 1935 blocks use casting number 837591. However, the '35 engines did have two different Heads. The Early Head used 1934 style Valves with 45 degree seats and 15 long head bolts while the Late Head (serial number 4783317 and up, late March 1935) had 30 degree seats with "U" shaped valve keys and 7 short & 8 long head bolts. I believe the compression ratio also went from 5.45:1 to 5.6:1 (Early to Late). :)
