What is the little tag for and what's the language? Also I'm assuming this engine has been gone through. It looks like the main tag has been reattached. And what info do they give? The black writing is worn off.

The three numbers( .000 ) probably are Rod, main and Bore under over sizes.

A few years back the folks at Vintage Power Wagons were selling what were essentially Mopar flathead crate motors.  They had sourced them as surplus items made available by the Isreali Military forces.  Apparently their forces realized that old Chrysler military vehicles had reached the end of their effectiveness and were phased out.  This rendered their inventory of reserve/rebuilt engines surplus and they sold them off.  Dont know if they were all 23.5 inches or 25's don't know how many the bought or how many were sold or if they have any left but you might be able to get some information through them regarding translating the tags.

 

I believe there might be some searchable discussion on this forum concerning them.

What are you putting it in?  Check Don Coatneys thread regardund his installation of a DeSoto 25 inch into his 48 Plymouth.  He has it all pretty documented with photos in. Photobucket album.  Drop him a pm if you need a primer on the project.
