thanks Tim,.

I was over at the inliners website, and deducted that the block casting was a 1941 216. I did not see anything that looked like an "H", so I believe that I have a 1941 216.5 cid with a 1947 head, most likely a 216.5 as well.. Does this sound correct to you ??

Also, could this truck have a 1941 engine in it as new from the factory ?? It seems odd that an older motor would have been installed as a replacement ..?

thanks for your patience
