Dustin Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 What is the little tag for and what's the language? Also I'm assuming this engine has been gone through. It looks like the main tag has been reattached. And what info do they give? The black writing is worn off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hebrew, but you’ll have to find someone else to translate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Do you know what the numbers on the big tag are for? I was thinking mill specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgeb4ya Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 The three numbers( .000 ) probably are Rod, main and Bore under over sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 So it is an overhaul tag? Is the 11981 the date or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg g Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 A few years back the folks at Vintage Power Wagons were selling what were essentially Mopar flathead crate motors. They had sourced them as surplus items made available by the Isreali Military forces. Apparently their forces realized that old Chrysler military vehicles had reached the end of their effectiveness and were phased out. This rendered their inventory of reserve/rebuilt engines surplus and they sold them off. Dont know if they were all 23.5 inches or 25's don't know how many the bought or how many were sold or if they have any left but you might be able to get some information through them regarding translating the tags. I believe there might be some searchable discussion on this forum concerning them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 That makes sense as to why the engine looks and seems to be in great shape. It is a 25in the original motor in car was a 23 but I bought it now so it's going in one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 What are you putting it in? Check Don Coatneys thread regardund his installation of a DeSoto 25 inch into his 48 Plymouth. He has it all pretty documented with photos in. Photobucket album. Drop him a pm if you need a primer on the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
