identify a 50 block
I'm building a 59-engine bored .100 with a 4" stroke Scat crank. I noticed the block is factory relieved. I think it was a truck block. I also found this number cast into the block. I have never seen one with this type of marking? look at the photo does the prefix C indicate a Canadian built engine?

Re: identify a 50 block
Your block is a 59 series of American manufacture between 1945 and 1948. The other letters and numbers near the large 59 are of no significance in identifying the block.

Re: identify a 50 block
Thanks it's a factory relieved block, I thought the C possibly meant made in Canada ? I have three other 50 blocks and none of them have that prefix and number on them. 59A block does not have that on it? Frank

Re: identify a 50 block
As stated above, blocks with 59 on them are not 50 blocks. 49-53 blocks have the bell housing that bolts to the block, not cast as part of the block like the 59 series units.
