Speaking of Motor City Flathead, was wondering if any of you could help decipher the stamping on the engine in my '37. I bought this car out of an estate sale. Previous owner did not build it, had bought it as-is. There was no file or history found. I have been unable to determine who built the car. I'm guessing it was built about 20 years ago by a professional hot rod shop.

Engine is stamped: "Motor City Flathead", then "S.B.", then a small "6".

Anyone know what the "S.B." or the "6" would indicate?
