I was told when I bought it that it was a 33 but want to make sure when I list it I am being honest. The car is 47000 mile 32. It must be a factory type rebuilt in the late 40's or early 50's. Comments? Thanks for all the replies. John

I think, if the 88 head has a 3 bolt flange, in the front of it and you look closer, the 88 will be a 68, like the other side.
My '37 block (block off plates) was a rebuild and had (I took them off) late casting date, 68 heads. The 68 heads are made for domed pistons. I had .040 over domes in mine so, if you can easily take the head off, make sure it has domed pistons or, the compression ratio, will be very low.
