Default more 261 details

Hi Guys

Here are a few more detail photos on my 261 which from the casting number 3769925 is 1959 to 1962 CHEVROLET TRUCK. It has the BARS behind the starter. The top photo shows the engine as removed from donor truck, the second shows the distributor side not the blank serial number boss by distributor, third show that no numbers were ever stamped in, the forth picture show the alternate serial number location under lip of valve cover. The serial number
Doesn’t make any senses, this is the second engine that I’ve encountered an engine with no real serial number. I speculate that this may mean that these were replacement engines or short blocks.
