I was thinking that all the 221s were 21 stud engines but they weren't. I guess you learn something new every day. They made 24 stud 221s from 1939 to the end of the war (85 hp) and these are the ones used in the carriers. They look the same as the 100 hp ones in the CMPs. Around here the 100 hp flatties aren't too hard to find although the 1949 and up engines are easier to come by. I have several of the newer ones including some 255 Mercs. It seems that by the early sixties when a farmer put a rebuild in his truck it was usually a 255 for the horsepower gain. I also have several of the CMP style engines but then I also have several CMPs that don't presently have engines in them.
