Young Ed here is the description, You are bidding on a running Flathead 6 cylinder motor and 3 speed manual transmission pulled from a 1953 Dodge 1/2 ton Pickup. Motor has been rebuilt. Could be 218 or 230 depending on what was done when it was rebuilt. Not sure how many miles on rebuilt motor but ran good when pulled! I've included quite a few pictures for your inspection so study carefully. The Engine # is not legible (see picture). Might be able to make out a couple numbers. The head is 23 inches long. The block casting # is 1119729-27, head casting 1311810-5, intake Manifold 1311805-23, and the Carter Carburetor # is DTE2. Sorry we don't know more about the history...we got the 53' Dodge truck thru a trade. The 'original' build date stamped on is 11/16/49. As I said, it has been rebuilt in recent years but we don't have date or how many miles since the rebuild. When we got the truck we went for a ride and it ran and trans worked fine. We took out the motor and tran for my husband to put in one of his restores, but now he's decided to sell. Hopefully this info and add'l pics will help you identify
They have a bunch of pic's but I don't know how to post the. Here is the link
