    I believe the ’53s with powerglide transmissions used insert bearings while the manual trans ones still had babbit bearings. All ’54 and later used inserts. Either block will bolt up to your bellhousing.

    FWIW, I would get me a rebuilt block and also check with these guys Stovebolt -- Old GM - GMC - Chevy Trucks! - - - they really helped me when I was doing my 235 sixer in the '56 Jimmy. Good Luck and let us know what you find out.
