Well I picked em up today I got either 230 or 250 according to the block # no big deal mainly wanted the head. The 216 is kinda got me. The guy pulled it out of a 53 truck he said it still ran but missed on 1 cylinder. He said he thought it was a valve so he gives me another head to go with it. Trans is crazy looking to especially at the end part got a bolt pattern around the end of tailshaft.
When I got home I noticed the head are different. The one he give me almost look the same but no recession around the spark plugs for the round cork gaskets for the side lifter cover but buy the # is says it a 216 head. The head on engine #s are under the valve cover. The spar head # are outside the valve cover area.
One other thing the 216 has a metal tag rivete above the fuel pump with 040 020 020 stamped on it. Maybe machine work stamping?
