My father passed away a year ago and my sisters and i are going through some stuff. He was a die hard MOPAR man and dreamed of building a hotrod from the ground up but never got to. I want to try and continue that but I'm not sure what I have in the garage and if it's worth trying to salvage. I've been able to identify the heads by the casting numbers, matching 354 Hemi 1957-1959 truck heads according to what i found online. There are Chrysler Fire Power Valve covers, and the following with the numbers:
intake manifold #1537726
Crankshaft #3751841
And a block with all eight pistons (4 out and 4 seized up) I can't make out the number completely butvlooks like VT538 34571411. Ive included a picture. The middle numbers are really hard to see. There's also a huge oil pan, air cleaner, several pulleys, and assorted parts.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

 

I can't read the numbers. Most interested in the 8 digit part number there.

 

The VT-448 is a 1956 according to this. Here is a file you may find helpful.

 

To me is looks like 34331411
