Engine ID help

[Tony WestOZ]

I am sure I down loaded these engine pic`s from this forum.

Dose anyone remember who the engine belongs to or where it comes from.

It carries the same cast in block numbers as the mystery engine I have.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

do you know the bore or stroke?

Is there not a number stamped into the boss just below the head above where the genny would be?

The engine s/n is in the upper left hand corner of this picture just below the head and above the freeze plug. Where to go from there maybe one of the more experienced members can help us both out.

The engine I have has no engine number stamped onto it. Infact the area where the number is suppose to be has never been fully machined.

Working off these cast in block numbers I am assuming that the block in the early post will be a 250 cu", long block (25").

If I could find out the engine number of the one in the first post it might point me in the right direction to identify mine.

Blank non stamped blocks were shipped to rebuilders like Jasper and stamped with their own ID numbers when shipped to a customer, maybe yours got sent without ID?

Chrylser aslo provided new blocks to Armed Forces just about every where with no numbers. All that Ihave read regarding the numbers cast onto the blocks were only casting lot Id numbers, and since displacement was decided by what crank and rods were installed when the engine got assembled some time years after the blocks were cast. One article said the rough castings sat in out side storage for many weeks or months before the even got their initial machining.

Chrysler was well know from an article I read long back about the great mound of castings sitting out of doors seasoning.
