Just picked up a 53 Bel Air over the weekend and had a question. Is there any way short of dropping the oil pan to identify a babbit motor? I've heard that the side covers are different. I've also heard that manual cars have a babbit motor and powerglide cars don't. Of course the latter is only helpful if the car is all original.

Thanks everyone
Stephen
