Flathead 6 engine identification


Recommended Posts

Hello,

Need help identifying an engine I've come across with engine number T214 SR-4488 still in a crate. Crate is marked as Army surplus.  Anyone know how to identify this number? It is a 23" long block. I'm considering purchasing for my PT81 1939 Plymouth pickup as a spare. Any information would be most appreciated. Year? Cubic inches?

Regards,

Steve

Thanks Reg!  I couldn't find anything refering to the SR-4488? Do you have any idea what SR stands for?  I'm fairly certain this engine will bolt right into my 1939 PT81 pickup? Just slightly larger cubic inches. My original engine was 218 cu. in.

I'd like to get some assistance (and double checking) of the truck and engine information for my 1935 KH-32 V:

 

    body tag: B-3-0-LR15988

        B-3-0 = cab for a chassis cowl KH-32V (mid size truck with just the sheet metal from the dash forward, no windshield)

        15988 = sequential number in B-3-0 sequence

 

    build date: between June and October 1935

 

    engine numbers

        casting date: 8-12 = August 12, 1935????

        casting number (is this the correct term?): 882929-2 = ????

        engine number (left side of engine block, at front, below the cylinder head): T-13-7512

            T = truck engine

            T13: Make = Dodge Truck, Model = KH 16-18-V, KH 21-23-V, KH31-33-V

            Year = 1935

            512th engine built????

        lower casting (is this the correct term?): 107 = ????

 

    engineering code: T-13-E

        T = truck, 23" long, 201 ci

        E = 1-1/2 ton

 

    serial number: 8239904
