My money is on this being a '40 block. Perhaps better photos from the owner in the oil pan rail area?
Post #6 shows a pretty good shot of the side of the block. I can see the gasket protruding where the bumps should be but I’m not seeing the bumps. I would like to see the intake surface. If it doesn’t have the raised portion it would definitely be a first for me.
