What year was 232 cast into the iron head near the therm housing?
I read 500 was cast into it for the 232 and 501 for the 262 but can't find info on the 232 and it's markings after 1950?
Thanks

    1951-1954. No markings for the 262 in 1950. 1951, begining of the "wide" blocks was
    the begining of the cu.in. cast into the heads.

    Was it common to put a 232 head on a 262 in the day if that was all that was around?
    What was the casting # on a wide block 232 and 262?
    Thanks

    I know I didn't, didnt have the money to spend except for gas! Could have been done if desired. Would make a bit of improvement. Remember the narrow block(1948-1950) did
    not have the cu.in. raised number cast into the head. 1951 up (Wide block) did have these numbers by the thermo. housing.
