I look at this as a replacement for the original from 1932 through 1953 engines. Should a person who wanted to rebuild his present 1938 through 1953 engine and found his original lock to be NG. He would be able to us ALL his original parts. For those that want to replace their 32/38 21 stud block they could use everything except the crank assy.
Also, if the cylinders can be bored to 3 3/8, their displacement will rise to 268 CI and the Cr to 8:1 with only a piston swap giving a nice increase in torque and better fuel economy.
