Serial #2671991. Has a hex timing plug. November 1929? Pretty rough but the transmission gears look good. No freeze cracks. Should that production date have a long water outlet? I don't have another engine here just now to compare.
Depends if it went into a 1929 type vehicle (short) or a 1930 type vehicle (long). More than likely it was the short type.
