60 bubbletop #'s deciphered

hey folks.
i recently bought a 60 impala sport coupe project that has no engine or trans. it's obvious that it came with a glide but i was wondering if one of you gurus out there could decipher the trim tag. will that identify which engine it came with?
anyway here's what the tag says:

style 60-1837
body sl30135
trim 862
paint 963 then there's a bigger 2 kinda hand stamped under the word paint
ACC B E21 4C

according to my 1964 motor manual there was a 235, 2-283's & 5-348's available.
this is a factory air car which all the parts are still there as far as i can tell. man that old compressor is scary lookin
basically my 2 questions are
can anybody tell me which engine came in this car?
&
would it be worth more with the original engine or all the running gear out of my wife's soon to be retired 95 roadmaster( LT1, 4L60E)?
any help would be greatly appreciated...mel
