bones44 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 In this pile of engines I spotted this Mopar engine and was hoping that some one with more knowledge of the product than I could give there opinion as to what it might be. Quote
timkingsbury Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 You need to get in there a little closer and look at the serial number on the block close to the head (front of engine) and cast into the side of the block will be a date code. Here is a link to give you a pretty decent field guide on mopar flathead serial numbers for the L-head or Flathead 6 http://www.t137.com/registry/help/otherengines/otherengines.php Tim Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) I thinks it's a 1949-50 DeSoto 236 engine trans combo without the aluminum oil filter housing. 1949 and up chryslers all have an aluminum oil filter housing. It has the early 1949-50 M6 trans with a reverse switch and lever. Also has the 1949- early 1950 external E-brake brake band and extension housing that goes with it. The 4 terminal starter solenoid is typical of 1949-50 Chrysler and Desoto. It could be a Dodge with that oil filter but not that type of starter. The trans also has a date and engine code stamped into it at the drivers side rear middle of case if you can see it in person. So does the engine as you know.

greg g Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 At the center of that pyramid, according to the power of the pyramid theory should be a basically brand new motor of your choice. If you dig for it you will find it. And while you are at it, sort them by manufacturer please. 1 Quote
_shel_ny Posted January 11, 2015 Report Posted January 11, 2015 and when you finish the engine pile, get to work sorting on the cranks, and rear ends Quote
