. That serial number is as good as a picture. If indeed the engine was made in 1948, it's a 262 cubic inch 6, and it will have a serial number starting with 481 or 482. There is also a date code cast immediately below the distributor boss in tiny characters. Those characters are a bit less reliable, but will end with a 7 or an 8 on a '48 262.

I thought the engine numbers DIDN'T have the model number stamped with it.
