Does anyone recognize a casting #CON4C109 on the block and is stamped #F3IIJC behind the distributor... 1958 truck 40series, I mentioned the II bars in the two places, no comment from the seller on those and he has decided to call it a 235 and quit looking any further... At this point I'm just curious about these numbers, any chance its a service replacement engine. Thanks for any info, dyno dave
C 10 9 is probably March 10, 1959. F 311 JC is Flint, March 11th. JC is the code for a 59 235 with 3 spd trans, used in 31 thru 40 model trucks.
Squirrel, thanks the prompt information... Was hoping a series 40 truck would be a 261 engine. I'll contact the seller and pass on your info to him and keep looking for a 261. Dyno Dave

Cosmo49, the seller is saying that he looked in that area of the block and there no seven digit casting numbers there. The previous ID #'s are was found, he didn't say where on the block he found them. Squirrel, thanks for series 60 info, dyno dave
