The most important # would be block casting #, 7 digits located between
distributor and fuel pump. However I looked up the head # and it is for a full
pressure 235 made between 53 and 55. The F133 is the casting date- June 13,
'53.
I would guess it was out of a powerglide equipped car as they were the only
vehicle with a full pressure 235 in '53.
