Re: Help Identify V8
That is a ‘37 or ‘38 engine. No other 21 stud had front block water pump location. The block off plates were a ford part available to provide newer short blocks for older bolt-ons.
Ken, the large 59 on your bell housing is the only ID in that location that identifies engines, which tells you that your block is from ‘45 to ‘47.
