Default Help to identify my engine!

I'm confused! My C8 is registered as a 1941 Chevrolet

The engine number thats stamped on the side of the engine is PR3870771
The engine casting number is GM 839253
The head casting number is 838773

From what I have researched in this forum, David Hayward (RIP) and Cletrac (RIP) identified this as a 1940 216 engine fom the head casting.

http://1954advance-design.com/Stoveb...g-numbers.html

This website shows it as a 1940 head but the block casing doesnt quite match.

Chevs of the 40s, who I was conversing with about buying the engine parts I need, have said it is a canadian 230 engine!

Can anyone identify my engine from the numbers and give me a definitive ID on it?

Many thanks
A very confused Richard!!
