Bought "new" 1951 Suburban, need title help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey everyone,
Just picked up a new project, 1951 Suburban. Trying to get title changed but running in to a little issue. The Burb is an original CA car which used the engine serial number as the VIN number. However the engine number now does not match the number on the title. I am guessing the engine was replaced at some point. My question is can someone help with the two different numbers.

Number on title is JBA494609

Number on engine behind distributor is DCA338423

Please help id years of the numbers and any other in info available.

I have looked online but cannot find anything. Thanks in advance, Dan
