I was given a '36 engine that was removed from an original '36 pickup and was assured it was the engine that came in this truck when new. It has cast iron intake manifold and heads, and is also an LB.
Purchased a '35 coupe last December from the son of the original owner, and he claims his Dad installed a '36 truck engine in this car many years ago. It also has cast iron intake and heads. Heads have pn's that indicate domed pistons. I'm hoping this is also an LB engine.
These engines support what you are saying about cast iron for intake and heads for '36 pickups/trucks.
