Thanks for responding so quickly. I thought so myself, I'm thinking its a 263, but I think Buick also made 248's for the Specials in the early 50's, I don't know enough about them to distinguish. Here are some photos of both sides of the block.Welcome,
That number is strange. Do you have pictures of the driver [ left ] side? Need to see the water pump, cylinders and crankcase vent inlet.

Thanks for your response. My 49 Super Sedanette has a 248 with hydraulic lifters. I read that the 263's are better but owned one, hopefully I have it.
You know a lot about Nailheads, got a question for you. I heard many years ago that connecting rods from the early 54/nailheads could be used on 40's Buick 320ci straight eights if you wanted to get away from the stock babbitted rods. Is this correct?
