I will appreciate some assistance in identifying the year of production of two Chevy 235 engines. I have checked the book Catalog of Chevy Truck ID numbers 1946 - 1972 but I haven't been able to identify the engines' years of production. One engine has the following numbers near the distributor: FI026J I presume this is a Chevy engine since the valve cover sez Chevrolet. The other engine has the following numbers (and very hard to read because of scratches: F4I5U (or maybe W).
To the right of this set of numbers is the following: KAA1028-48 Any ideas or answers. Thanks to Bilbo on checking the engine code. I did check on the two engines and found the info but it is confusing. On the first engine (which is a demo engine in a high school auto shop) the code found is: CON4 J240.
If I use the method you listed - J equals the month, 2 is the day and 40 is the year which doesn't seem possible for a 235. The other engine is in a 53 Chevy and was installed in January, 1968, the code I could see was fuzzy and seems to read CON (can't make out the number) and then D148. Which would be April, the first, and 1948.
Again, doesn't seem to make sense. I will try to send some pics.
Hi All, I have a 1953 3600, but it does not have the original 216ci engine. Rather, the engine is a 235ci. The most I've been able to determine is that the engine is a standard 235 model and was made on Feb. 6th, between 1957 and 1962. Apparently, from 1957 on forward, chevy 235ci engines stopped using serial numbers. So, how do I determine the actual year of production for this engine? I have the following information from the engine block: Casting # = 3769716, Engine ID = F0206A, and two other strange things cast into the block and located below the Engine ID boss - They are CON 4 and B52.
Can anybody shine some light on my confusion? There is a machined pad just behind the distributor with a stamped number on it. The letter prefix at the beginning of the stamped number should identify the year of manufacture, and other details about that specific engine. There are several websites available with engine number decoding information, just google 'Chevrolet engine numbers'. Jerry EDIT: Try this link: Better re-check that casting number-you might have a 261 engine instead of a 235. If so, that's a real find! The casting number you list differs one digit from either a 235 or a 261 number.
Jerry Found it! The Inliners' site lists your casting number as a 60/61 truck 235. Brott, Where was the casting number 3886848 found? The block casting number reference that I use do not have that number. However, 3836848 is the cylinder head number for most 1956 and later 235 engines. Look at this for the FO408J decoding. The engine casting number is on the lower forward passenger's side of the block.

The casting date code on the block by the starter is also useful. Look at for more useful information. Hoyt Re: 235 Engine Identification Fri Oct 15 2010 10:39 PM Fri Oct 15 2010 10:39 PM.
Hi tclederman and all, Here's additional info, with locations for each number as outlined in the numbered photos linked by tclederman: Photo #2 Block Date Casting Code - CON 4 G298 (G29=July 29, so is the '8' 1958? 1948?) Photo #3 Engine S/N - dis. Pad is N375583 Cal (Not sure what this means except that the 'cal' means it's a California s/n, as per cletis - is there any more information in the other part of the number?) Photo #4 - B2 887 066 570 but didnt take valve cover off (no idea what this tells me) Photo #6 Casting Head Code - 3701887 gm3 (I still can't find this particular code on any of the normal casting code sites - any ideas?). I would also appreciate help in identifying the 235 I bought this past weekend. The PO says it came out of a '57 Chevy truck. Numbers and locations as follows: Engine block stamp (on flat plate by dist.) FIII5H (These are the letter 'I') Head casting # 3836848 Manifild casting # 3836822 Engine block casting # (below and right of dist.) 3837004 I've gone to the Hemmings and Inliners sites linked to in the previous posts and cannot find much.
Any help about the date of manufacture would be appreciated. The Inliners' site shows block # 3837004 as a 55-57 235.
I'm not sure about the FIII5H; could it be F1115H? Sometimes the '1' looks like an 'I'. F1115 could mean an engine produced in Flint, November 15. For 1957, the 'H' suffix seems to indicate a 31- 235.
The head casting number is correct for a 1956-62 235. That casting number was also used for replacement heads for 1953 and later 235s. The casting date code behind the starter may also help.
For example, F167 would indicate June 16, 1957. Hoyt Re: 235 Engine Identification Tue Oct 19 2010 05:23 AM Tue Oct 19 2010 05:23 AM. After reading all of the posts, visiting each link, and collecting all the numbers from the block, I think I have decoded the engine in my 59 Chevy 1/2 ton Napco. It appears it is the wrong motor. Please take a look at my conclusion and let me know if I am right or wrong.
Block casting Code - 3769716 = 1960 Block date-casting Code - Con 4 G60 = July 6, 1960. Engine Stamp Serial # FO 707A = Flint MI, July 7th 1960. Head Casting Code - 3836848 GM 30 = Number used for several years on 235. Head Casting Number - B59 848 = February 5th 1959? While it is a good running motor, if it is the wrong one I will probably be looking for a correct 59 engine. I am also confused by the fact that the throttle linkage seems to attach in a different location than my other 59, requiring the rod to to be shorter. I will need to modify linkage to get it to work.

D71 = Serial = Please let me know if I am screwing anything up here but I'm having the devil's own time decoding the engine serial # and that is what I need some help with. Most serial format sites stop at 1957 or I simply cannot find my format. Re: 235 Engine Identification Mon Aug 22 2011 01:22 AM Mon Aug 22 2011 01:22 AM. For the code on your engine, it breaks down like this, first letter is the plant code, F being the Flint plant, T would be Tonawanda NY. The next 4 numbers are the Month/Day of assembly, whihc as you may notice, is only a week or so after the block was cast.
Last leter is the application. Ou mention the 'I' that's in the code before the 9, it's meant to be a '1', and is very common to see thm stamped that way. Mine has the same 'I' in it's code as well. Something I will mention, as you've found, most decoders do not go past '57, in addition, most of them do not list anything that isn't a Passenger car or Light Truck/Suburban.
The Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks and Double Duty/Step Vans tend to get left out. Much of the information can be found on the Heritage site, though. I've got one too. I'm rather disappointed about my 1951 truck that I'm starting to work on. I suspect that the engine isn't the original. Any help decoding this engine would be appreciated.
Here's my info Block casting code: 3769716 (BDCC)Block date casting code: CON4 D 10 2 Near BDCC is an 18 which is upside down and crocked To the right of BDCC In large letters there is a GM 23 Engine serial number: F04I2J Also on passengers side is B59 848 850 Head casting code: 3836848 With GM 17 under it Number on header: 3754844 or 8754844 with GM under it From what I have looked up it appears to be a 1958-1962 but I would like confirmation and maybe a little more info like a month or place of manufacture or what it was in before. Thank you Re: 235 Engine Identification Fri Jun 28 2013 06:34 AM Fri Jun 28 2013 06:34 AM. All 216s and most 1941-53 235s are considered low-pressure engines. The 1953 Powerglide-equipped car came with a high pressure 235 engine.
Many people call the low-pressure 216 and 235 engines 'splash oil engines' but that is an incorrect use of the term. Earlier Chevrolet splash-oil engines relied almost entirely on splash-oil lubrication. The low-pressure 216 and 235 engines are described by Chevrolet as being lubricated by a combination of internal pressure lubrication (full pressure to main bearings and cam bearings), directed open oil-steam lubrication (rod bearings), oil dipper lubrication (rod bearings), and 'oil spray from the rods' lubrication (of the cylinder walls). The cam gears receive a pressure-feed of oil, as does the rocker arm assembly. It's been a while since I have been on here.
I have been trying to decode the components on my truck. I think I have it nailed down with the exception of the Engine ID number: Block Casting #: 3837004 (55-57 from a car is what I understand) Date Code: F107 June 10, 1957 Head: 3835913 (55-57 car with power glide) Manifold: 3754844 (58-62) Engine Serial: F6I4A (and the 'I' is stamped like an I not a 1) The engine serial format does not seem to follow what I have found in any resource. I've also read that in 1957 they quit using the sequential serial numbers. Is there a definitive source to look this up? Full pressure with hydraulic lifters? IF anyone can confirm or deny/correct this information I'd appreciate it.

Quick and easy 216, 235, 261 spotting You've dragged home the truck of your dreams only to open the hood to a rat's nest. Under the seat wadding, sticks and dead leaves lurks an engine. Ahhhh, but what engine is it, you wonder?
Good question - the sheetmetal, frame and axles on these old Stovebolts were able to labor on much longer than their babbitted 216 motors. Thus, many have been re-engined at some point with later 235's and 261's. How to you tell which is which? The 216's and early 235's have a valve cover held down by two studs running up through the center of it, and a tall side cover that the spark plugs go through. Later ('54-'62) 235's and 261's have four screws around the outer edge of the valve cover to hold it down, and a short side cover that doesn't go as high as the spark plugs. The 261 has a raised set of 'captain's bars' (casting marks) in the block just forward of the starter.
The best way to identify your engine is to check the casting numbers on the head and block. Our good friends over at have a great listing of casting numbers that will help you definitively identify your mill. They have very good information on block and head casting numbers as their whole site just deals with engines.
From, a tip to help identify early babbitted 235's (optional motors in the pre-'54 Big Bolts): Here's a Chevy motor question that comes up all the time - 216 or early 235? Guys are always posting this question.
Chevrolet 235 Engine Serial Number Lookup
How to identify this early 235 High Torque, digging for numbers and measuring stuff. Attached is a photo of my 1946 High Torque 235 pan which plainly has the number '235' stamped on the right side, big as day. These motors all have the tall side plate and different casting number appear all the time, this photo should help.
Now I can't say this number is on ALL High Torques as I personally have not seen every Chevy motor that was ever built. ( Editor's Note: I have a '49 babbitted 235 big truck motor in my '49 1-ton and although the pan has the raised pad as in Jim's photos, it does not have any numbers stamped in it. Of course, I can't guarantee that my pan is original to the motor.
This is an interesting possibility, though, and more study is warranted. If you have a pre-'54 babbited 235, please check for this stamping on your oil pan and let us know if you have anything there or not.) From Barry Weeks: I think you should add the following to help others to get the big picture. Per my 1942 Chevy Parts Manual: Oil Pan group # 1.426. Part no.
839642 $7.60, 1941-42(235).YM series. 839201 $7.60, 1940-42 ALL (but 'all' doesn't really mean all per the 235 numbered part - Editor's Note: Huh?). So this must be the 216 pan. I'm sure the 216 pan has no such number on the side. Also to further confuse or maybe clarify the issue, my 1951 Chevy truck shop manual states that all pans are the same, but lists different pan targeting gauges. So quite possibly these pans could be adjusted via the pan gauge to fit either motor?
