Could the be California Assigned numbers on a replacement engine? What are the casting numbers on the engine block?

Might be a WWII code
2AA in 1942 decodes to:
2 = 1942
A = passenger car
A = 216 Flint, MI
DAA in 1946 decodes to:
D = 1946
A = passenger car
A = regular engine, Flint, MI | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 25 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 25 | So I'm guessing if that's what it is, they took the original motor out that it had in 41 and put a straight 6 from 1943 in the dump truck?? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 25 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 25 | On the other side of the block it says 25 there's Like an inch gab and then it had 849 | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 25 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 25 | Yes they did help out a lot. They were pretty close. The markings by the fuel pump on mine were to the right and bottom but and for the 41 head all the numbers are under the cover. But yeah those pictures d-codes really helped out. found out that the head is from May 18 1941 and the block is from June 1 1943. | | |
