I was reading Jim Parkers post this morning about early engines and was also looking at the pictures.

My engine is stamped CA 1596 which would indicate an early 28. My Canadian Engine Chart indicates that it was made in Mid March 1928.

The boss for the engine number measures about 2 1/4" as can be seen in the photo. Is this correct for a mid March 1928 engine, or has this number been restamped on this block? The stars are plainly visible.

Unfortunately this engine is in my 1930 Coupe. Too bad I don't have the original car!!

Any comments?
