YEAH, now there's some good pictures! We can now clearly see that what I thought to be head BOLTS are actually the normal STUDS and nuts of that era. The head markings are typical for later 1938 (first application) regular old passenger car application (the "
A " in "81A") heads. The "1" in "81A" tells us it is a Ford engine and NOT a Mercury, and will be a 221 cu. inch engine. It still appears to be an engine that was likely purchased from Ford for commercial purposes somewhere between 1939 and '41 or '42, manufactured between late '38 and sometime in '41. DD
