Chevy engine casting marks

[Jordan Baker]

Hi everyone.

I spent the day taking all sorts of stuff of my truck in order to better get at the engine. Im going to be ordering a gasket set from "Chevs of the 40's" and I would like some help figuring out which set I need. As far as I know its a 235

I found the manufacture date below the starter. It reads "C 26 9" From what I understand this means my engine was built on March 26, 1949. I however was unable to get a clear photo of it.

The next casting marks were on the right side of the engine forward of the distributor. It says "GM (48) 3835327" below that is a "m".
