dpollo Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 The engine is a 51 or 52 and likely carries engineering code P23 at the front corner above the generator. The trans and bell housing are typical 1937 units. The intake and exhaust appear to be from 1951. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desoto1939 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 there isa a serial number on a flat boss on the side of the motor near the generator. This will have been stamped with letters and numbers There will be a suffix then numbers. so on my 1939 desoto the number starts with S6 which is the model for my 39 Desoto. So that ells me this morotor was built for my 39 Desoto and then there are the appropriate serial number. So look at the boss and then record the number and suffix and this will tell you if the correct engine for your car. The letters might start with a P3 or P4 rich hartung desoto1939@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
