Looking at a 54 Super Wasp…

… it’s a great old survivor. My question: The cylinder head has 232 stamped on it. Shouldn’t the Super Wasp have a 262? Is it possible late in the 54 run that they put a 232 in a Super? Everything is so original with this car — owners say it hasn’t been driven since the 70s — that an engine swap doesn’t seem likely. Block number starts with 53.
thanks so much.

Might have put a 232 head on the 262 to bump up the performance since it would up the compression ratio.

Check the engine number against the VIN plate. If it’s the same then you have a 262
