The engine number is: 58575524.

Looking at the identification page with your number, it would appear that it should be a 1950 motor, but a 40 sieries. But as you believe it to be a super, it should be a 50.

Thanks shoprat!
You are right, Itīs from a series 40 buick but would that make the engine a 248" or a 263"?
I guess a 248" but I would like to know

I do believe that a 1950 series 40 should be a 248. smile.gif
