Is this a 1959 394 engine number?
Hi All
I picked up a couple parts cars and am crawling over them trying to figure out what's there. One is a 1955 Olds 98 4 door, but it has #18 heads which key out to the 1959 394. The engine number is 574865 but all my efforts doing internet searches I'm not verifying if this block is a 1959 394. Anyone out there who can confirm what it is? John

Looks like 59-64 371/394 valve covers to me. 57-58 had 2 bolts in the middle of the valve covers. My mind is blank about 49-56 valve covers. I think the 57 used #14 heads, 58 used #16. The casting number should be in the back and will be a raised cast number, not stamped. Charlie Jones will probably have the answer.
