V3131 is the embossed number.
Anyone identify it??
It is in a 55 Speedster.

Jim a P prefix in '55 was a 259 cid engine and I think a V would have been a
232 cid. Unless special ordered in a Speedster, I would doubt that it is the
original engine. The build order from the museum would be the main authority to
answer the question.
Are you going to the Watermelon Festival Car Show in Thayer, KS this Saturday?

All Speedsters should have a "P" code 259. But that number sounds like
a '55 224. (early model year Commander)

If you haven't left a number out, that would seem to be a 1951 232 engine.
Where on the block did you find the number?
