I took a HEMI from a large 1957 cab over log truck. Need to know what I have here. These are the numbers I see on the block at the front near the water pump between the heads= VT 460-1049. I see these numbers on what appears to be a large one barrel intake= 1537726-1. Everthing seems heavy duty here, exhaust flanges are square, dist. in rear, wet intake, water pump suction is on passenger side and high near the pulley, no markings on valve covers, spark plugs in the middle of valve cover ,bell housing is not cast with the block. oil inlet or outlet at rear within 1/2 inch of the bell housing on passenger side for external oil filter. I looked at all the web sites I could find in search of the displacement with no luck. This seems like a small carb on this engine. Any help apreciated !
Will post a pict as soon as I figure how.
Thanks
Tim
