Where did you get 'these numbers? I cannot find 3835916 in any of the casting number lists I have. First off, is it a inline 6? Number would be behind the distributor. Older V8 on top of the block in front of the cylinder head mating surface.

Hi crm543100

Using this page:

https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/54057.htm

It looks like you have a 1954 Chevrolet 235 six that was built in the Tonawanda plant and came in a 1954 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton truck.

I'm guessing from your user name that you have exactly that type of truck?

If so... there is a good chance you still have the original engine.

Hope that helps! 🙂

If it is the original engine, I consider that a plus. 👍


PS

Are you sure the last number in the casting number isn't a 1 or a 7?

Hi again

The head number should have been 3835913 according to info I have,
Again, as in my previous post, are sure about the last number?
Could it be a 3 instead of a 6?

Hi Keith 👍

Truth is, I keep lists of casting numbers from 3 different sources...
and don't "fully" trust any of them. 🙂

But, usually the info is there somewhere between the 3 of them.
