You have the beginning of a great story. Maybe the guy had a '53 Vette that he put a V8 in and put the Vette engine in the truck to tow it to the races.
In the early 60s I had a '40 pickup with a 261. It had Corvette intake and exhaust manifolds. I wish I had that engine today.
Beater,
I think it's more likely that it's from a truck, but it's probably just coincidence. The only way to know for certain was be to see the cam, or when I get the info from inside the valve covers between the valves, the heads are dated there. It's better than having the original 216 in it, for me anyway...
BTW, I wish I could upload pics here to inliners. You mentioned before it's easier to post pics on H.A.M.B. and I agree. But I like this little forum here, this is more about the detailed data.
