Can someone identify this engine?

Thanks,

Looks like a 216 or 235 chevy.

I'll second that.

 

Show us the other side and we'll tell you which one.

 

I found it in the "cool pics" post and it was the only shot of it.

Anyway, it's a beauty. I've got a '51 Fleetline (sans engine/tranny) that had been set up for a SBC when I got it. I was thinking of putting a 331 Caddie in it, since I've got a couple of them, but maybe I'll just put it back to an inline.

Thanks for the replies,

gary

 

The Valve cover with the wing nuts on top is a 216 style of mounting

 

I would bet it's a 235. The vavle cover bolts are adapters that mimic the 216 but are actually found on the 235s. The aluminum covers only mount this way.
