So, consensus is that it is a later 40's motor, possibly commercial. Canadian car so no surprise about the "C" designation.
The comment regarding water pumps makes ask if there are specific part numbers, or can they be replaced with car pumps. One has a broken snout and needs to be replaced.
B&B - car was running and driveable, so if I can find a reliable and knowledgeable rebuilder, I would consider a freshening. Already have an Edelbrock 3x2 and rebuilt Strombergs
I have a WC Tremec T5 and chassis parts for an open driveline, so only need to find a 8" or 9" to complete the basics. Modern Driveline has all the other bits I need to make at all work.
