Working on a 58 W-300 with 251 flathead, and wondered if the engine was the original. Number stamped on the boss is L25*2567*. Block casting number is 1400229-5, also a small "L257" which looks like perhaps a date code. The head is casting number 1632430-1. I also have a spitfire head aand Ellis dual carb intake for it, though I do not know if it would be an appropriate addition for a truck that still has all the original components on it (distributor, starter, carb, generator all match the numbers in the factory manual) so I'd like to keep it correct. Some previous posts indicate that the spitfire was found on some Dodge trucks, and I've been told that the Ellis intake was a dealer option. Thanks for all the help! Rob
