For the 320 engine, lots of changes over it's decade of use.

1. Oil cooler and full-flow filter adopted in 34 along with finned rod caps. Cooler and filter arrangement changed in 35 and up.

2. Insert rod bearings beginning in '35.

3. Block casting and manifold arrangement changed in '33 for downdraft carburetion.

4. Generator changed sides and from chain to belt drive in '37(?).

5. Oil breather inlet changed in style around 1937.

6. Internal water jacket revised in '38.

7. Dual coil NE ignition in '33 and dropped for '35.

8. Front engine mounts changed in '31 or '32?


And on and on and on. Similar changes in the 384 Super eight thru 1936.
