The 848 head is a high compression head (used on a lot of Hydromatic
equipped 235's); highly desirable. AFA the year, you need the serial
numbers to better narrow the year (& possibly original application). The
numbers you have given are casting numbers & cover a wide range of years.
The serial number for the motor is stamped on a boss just behind the
distributor.
