Old, I'm not a expert on anything. But (unless that engine was swapped out with another) I think it should be a 216 that they put into those 1/2 ton Chevrolets back then. When I was a lot younger than I am now a close family friend had one that he changed/swapped out the engines every year or so in his 51 Chev. 1/2 ton pickup. Both of these engines I do believe were 216's. He never abused this thing, and said that he had the spares (engine, trans, differential) to swap out so he could keep the downtime to a minimum while he overhauled them. He was in his 70's at this time, and died at the very young age of 93. I was very sad when this happened and was unable to go to his funeral due to where I was living and work requirments. Have often wondered what his son did with the old pickup. It was in as perfect condition as one could be in South Texas. I'll never forget the day (mid 1970) offered him $8,000 cash for it. LOL, he just looked at him and said that he would keep driving his pickup.
