Your photos are not coming up for me.  Does due diligence mean you have bore and strike measurements?  Stroke can be measured using the little plug over #6 cyl and a long dowel if the engine will rotate.  Bore will require head removal.

No photos here either.   You should be able to tell the engine displacement by stroke alone, assuming the head measures 25 1/2 inches as the variations of that engine had stroke lengths unique to the long block.   At least that's what my quick look of the Motors data says.

I believe I'm done my due diligence but still can't find a definitive answer to the exact size motor I have.  I know it's a Canadian Spitfire Flat head six, from the 40's but in order to find it a home, I have to be able to describe the exact engine size.  I've attached some photos, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 What do you want to be able to do with your truck when complete? I have been working/enjoying older Dodge trucks since the 80’s and don’t know that being on a budget is a good plan when starting into these trucks.  If you need a truck for low cost and hauling, the 70’s trucks are tough to beat. If you enjoy chasing parts and bringing back from the dead in an older truck—these are your winner! That being said, there is a real enjoyment when rolling down the road with a load on the tail! Also comes with a little “hope everything is working”.

if you are addressing the OP/thread starter, realize the thread is 7 years old, and the last activity, until yesterday, was 7 years ago.

My apologies folks, I uploaded my photos in the wrong format.  

I'm seeking confirmation that my motor is a Canadian 241.5 ci Spitfire motor

 

Many thanks from a blind man, in a dark room, lookin' for a black cat that ain't there!

The C28 was used for Chryslers below. It looks like from the picture the head is off. If so you can measure the stroke the piston moves from top to bottom and confirm the bore size for it's current configuration. Below is what I pulled up.

Chrysler Royal 6 and Windsor 6

1941

 

A total of 6,846 Royal Six Business Coupes left the factory in 1941, weighing in at 3,170 pounds, with a base price of $945.00. All were powered by Chrysler's 241.5-cubic inch inline six, producing 112 horsepower when mated to the Fluid Drive transmission, as this car is equipped.

Below are listed for measurements of the 241.5 Chrysler motor as found online.

Bore : 3.4 in | 86 mm. ; Stroke : 4.5 in | 114 mm. ; Compression : 7.2:1.
