Engine Identify Help Needed
Need help identifying an engine in my 54 GMC 150-24 Truck. This is not the original engine.
Chevy Engine Block serial # 00II242F54XA CON1 K58 Head casting 8885918 B11 918 066 570 I cannot find anywhere a casting number on the block. Engine has been cleaned. Only numbers are above that I'm able to find. I want to order parts for this engine but need the year and type. |

Pics?
Some people on here can identify your motor with just a pic! |

Re: Engine Identify Help Needed
Are you sure it's not original? GMC engines were a little different than Chevy engines.

Re: Engine Identify Help Needed
From a google search of the head number:
The 8885918 number is not familiar. If some of the 8's are really 3's (sometimes the numbers are hard to distinguish), as in 3835913, that is a '54-up 235 head number. |

Re: Engine Identify Help Needed
Yes pictures will help. The Chevy casting number will be right in front of the fuel pump on a 235, under the large GM.
00II242F54XA 00II242 this is the engine serial number F54XA: F= flint (engine factory) 54= 1954 XA= 235 Truck 3600 (3/4 ton)

Re: Engine Identify Help Needed
Was told I have the original GMC 248 engine (spare). The one in photos is in the truck right now. I double checked around the distrubitor, no raised casting numbers.
Last, where is the best place to order engine parts? Forgot to add photos. Here is the links: |

Re: Engine Identify Help Needed
stovebolt.com is a good source for these older 6's. There is also a FB group if you're on there called Straight Six Chevy (car, truck, any)- lots of parts on there.
http://www.langdonsstovebolt.com/ is another parts source Its a 235 in the pictures- in front of the fuel pump is a large cast GM- I can see it in the second picture. Below the GM is the block casting number. This is a picture of my 1954 235 block casting number for reference.

Re: Engine Identify Help Needed
MNJ already figured it out for you in post 5 and the link I posted in post 6 verifies it.
Basic engine parts you can get at NAPA or another full service old school parts house, they aren't exotic parts that are rare and unobtainable. There should be a few "go to" parts houses in the Sacramento area that still have the parts books on the racks next to the counter rather than just a computer.
