I hope someone can help me identify this engine. I bought a Chrysler flathead six Industrial engine for parts. It was used a year ago on either a water pump at the bogs, or an electrical generator. It still has the Governor on it. The numbers are II9-I056. The beginning of the flat area is worn away and there is just the numbers. I'll be using parts for my 38 DeSoto engine. Thank you.

Pull the little pipe plug in the head over ylinder # 6 and rotate the engine with a piece of stiff wire down the hole (about 7 inches long) and you can measure the stroke, with the stroke you can determine the displacement 4 1/2 is a 251, and 4 3/4 is a 265.

Thank you for your help. I forgot to include the engine casting number with my first thread.

870728-7

I hope that this helps. The I.D. engine number has no regular beginning such as a T, C, S, or IND. It is definately an industrial engine though. I'll test the strike as soon as the rain lets up.
