          By 1962, Chev changed to the '870 327 cylinder case, so that casting # number should probably be deleted from this exchange. Best, Dennis

              According to my black book, the 3756519 is NOT correct for a 57. I was used from 58.

                  Sorry it took so long to get this but the car is stored off-site. As best I can tell the number on the front passenger side boss is: FOI05C.
