What year is my engine?
VanPelt says a 1939-42 block has three openings between the center cylinder bores, top one is triangular and the two lower ones are trapazoids. A 45-48 block has the top one triangular and the two lower are round holes. This block has a triangle on top, circle in the middle and trapzoid at the bottom. Any help?

Looks like a Canadian made C59A.

Re: What year is my engine?
Thanks. Do we have a date range that it might be? I’ll take a look for that casting location.

Canadian early 239 blocks have a little 99 casting number on the front right if I remember right. US made early 239 blocks were stamped 99 on the front right intake deck. All pre 1941 engines have sand clean out ports on the pan rails. 1941 & later have no clean out ports and have what appears to be a raised intake deck.

Re: What year is my engine?
My guess is that it is a 39-42 239 CI engine - given the round center hole. Does it have the core-sand cleanout plugs on the pan-rail and a "raised" intake deck surface? Take it a bit further apart, clean it up a bit and we'll be able to tell you more. I have a very similar engine in my 32 Cabriolet.
