I have a 533 and I understand that the 4th Series block is identical.

The 4 and 5 series cars, from 1926 through 1928 both use the 288" six. From 1923 to 1925, the earlier cars used a 268" six cylinder block.

So the thought is that the blocks are interchangeable? I was concerned that "improvements" may have been introduced that may prevent using an earlier one.
Thanks for the inputs & feed back!!

I've never had one, but if it's anything like the 319" eights that came out in '29, yes, a lot of the components should interchange with parts from the earlier engines. Since they have the same cubic inch displacement, I would think the bore and stroke, pistons and crank are all the same.
