Engine and body mounts

[pflaming]

Reading past posts some engine and cab mounts seem to last longer than others. What are the recommended ones? AND what kind of paint is best for the engine and manifold. I like silver color.

Finally what do I need to know to sever the clutch housing from the engine? Need to match tranny, clutch, and engine next.

This is my rebuilt engine. I note that the engine numbers are 1484929-2, the date "plate" is 10-31-51. Then there are the interesting 0 P with an inverted U below the P. THe P is large. From a post I read this C U

would be a Car engine possilby a Chrysler. Am i reading

the correctly. The bell housing numbers are: 519298-6 and its square of numbers are OD . So then I possilby have a 1951 engine block on a "Dodge"

CD belhousing. The fly wheel has eight holes.

Tomorrow I am going to put all the parts together and see what matches.

What is the measurement of the head on the rebuilt engine end to end?

The engine length is 35". The number on the block up between the 1st and 2nd cylinders is TP 23 followed by what appears to be a three headed British or Scottish ax head. At the end of the 'plate' is what appears to be FPLL but they are extremely faint. I got those letters with a thin sheet of paper and over etching with a lead pencil.

Interesting project. This engine has been in storage until today, now it is in my garage and I am learning more and more. Tried to knock out the axel pin on the brake pedal, but it is SOLID. Don't what to break anything so. . . will study it some more.

Is that 35" including the bellhousing? Measure just the engine head. Should be 23 or 25.
