This was sent to me via email. Perhaps for a White truck or other commercial application? Casting date on the block is 4/11/50. Also take note of the side motor mount holes which didn't appear until 1951 on the 8 cyl blocks.

Observations by others were that it is probably not setup for a marine application based on distributor and carb configuration.

12v or 6v electrics???? Any evidence of oil coolers or other coolers. Look at the oil pan. Looks like pan has been changed since it was not painted with the block. In some commercial applications such as fire engines there may or may not be cooler lines running thru the oil pan. Odd that the pan is not painted.
Not sure about that carb for truck applications but quite possible.

I don't believe those side holes referred to in the engine photo are for a motor mount. On pre 51 engines, they were also used for electromatic clutch. Not sure if that was their only purpose or on prewars since that has a different power unit but suspect they might be there. Later 51 on motor mounts are also 4 holes IIRC. Attach file: (19.71 KB)

Interesting that the bottom of the block, there are not the "squares" for lack of a better term casted into it. My block as well as the one pictured above has full "walls" instead of just the bottom corners.

The 51 blocks are are bit different. Remember they switched to side mounts in '51.

Engine number is "A26044B"
Which is even more curious, as I would have expected a 1950 motor to have a "H" letter. H2xxxx are 288 8cyl and 1948 6cyl motors are G1xxxxx. So why it has an "A2" number is really odd. I really dont think this was taxi/export motor unless it was some kind of service replacement motor, and that is the reason for the odd serial number. I'm still betting on a White truck motor.

The engine pictured showing the Electromatic clutch attachment is of an eight cylinder and not a six; hence, the different crankcase support members.
