Dodge Inline 6 ID help

[roi]

I picked up this engine over the weekend and need some help identifying exactly what it is.

I was told it came from a 1958 Dodge D100.

 

On the pad it’s stamped - TP 23 and a very light 101 or 1C1, no other numbers.

What year do I have here?

Here’s the date under the distributor,

Looks like TP23 could be a 1960 230 CI.

The pad and stamping to me look to have had some rework. I don't recall see a stock pad with a burr like that at the bottom. The TP23 also appear larger than the rest of the numbers. Just my observation at first glance.

just from looking at your picture I can see the number 10 still stamped into the boss. But as has been stated it looks as if the original numbe has been ground off. So to me this indicates that the engine was rebuilt at some time. Hard to state the original engine number and year.

Not to sidetrack this discussion, but what truck models would have come with a 230, or any flathead motor, in 1960, since the Slant 6 was released that year?  
Novice question.

I found this on allpar in regards to the 1960 model year,

 

The L-head six – notably, not the just-introduced slant six – was the old flathead model with 230 cubic inches and 120 horsepower at 3,600 rpm. Torque was 202 lb-ft at a low 1,600 rpm; the compression ratio was 7.9:1. Features included exhaust-valve seat inserts  and chrome-plated top piston rings. It was standard in all Dodge low-tonnage trucks.

Not an answer to your question but a add-on?

 

Mopar flat 6's were sold for many years after 1960 auto/truck use for commercial uses- air compressors , forklifts (often combined with the fluid drive setup)  airport tugs , on and on. Last was about 1967? I believe i read somewhere but many new motors still available in the pipeline for more years?

I know when I was in the Nay, at my first duty station (84/85), our forklift had a MoPar flat six in it.  Every time the motor pool got done servicing it I had to undo their work.  

 

That was my first exposure to that engine.

I have a Chrysler Industrial Engine service manual from the late 1970's, so I imagine the flathead sixes were still being built at the time.

Thanks all.
