It's a 308 with a 262 head. The rib is readily identifiable as you look under the generator and go straight back to the rear of the driver's side of the block.

hmm, ok thank you. i guess that would mean that we have hyd lifters and relieved valves, should be a ok combination from what i hear.any input on that?

Hey, that looks very much like the 1950 Super Six from M.Rosauer which was on craiglist the other day. Again a lost chance for me ;-)

i have been looking for a good driver since my 52 coupe isnt done yet

I received some pics and a discription from Mark. Is the body really solid (except on hole) ?
I also thought it may be a good driver. Wish you good luck with it.

the body is awsume,needs a good block and buff as far as the paint goes,im going thru all the brakes and such. the chrome was all done a few years ago. it does run great with exception of poor idle,but i will take care of that. any way thankyou
