OK, a little more info requested...
I went back to snap a shot of the engine number stamping yesterday, but the pad on the side of the block was blank. I have since learned that, on B engines, this pad is blank and the B number is on the flywheel housing. My problem there is...I don't have the housing!
Now mind you, the oil pan stops at the rear main cap and has a knife-edge (not a rolled lip) that creates the seal. Pulling the pan, the crank is definitely counterweighted and the cam has a fuel pump lobe. I don't remember seeing a fuel pump boss or port through the side of the block.
Could this be a service replacement "A" block that came from Ford with a counterweighted crank and B cam? If so, would the crank be turned down to fit the A block, or would the block have larger journal bores? (Like a dummy, I didn't have my calipers to measure the rod journals!!)
Any ideas???
