A question for the experts
does the engine number cr115183 correspond with 1941 and would it be original ? cr engine number with only 6 digits seems a little odd bob suggested possibly 235 ? Also seems to have smaller diameter spark plugs if that means anything Would anyone have a match with that number for an ARN ?

How about a picture of the engine number?
Reason I ask about a picture of the engine serial number is that I've encountered two engines without any serial number stamped next to the distributer or the second serial number under the valve train side cover.
I understand that this generally indicates a replacement engine and that the original serial number would then be stamped with an indication of replacement. But in practice the blank engines didn't get stamped at all. Now as to your numbers I've been back through Peter Ford Infoex and find nothing similar to your number. Peter's note on Engine Serial Number "216-inch engines: Two letters designating Productions variations (AR through ZR) followed by seven numbers." The picture is of my 1941 C60L and shows both number locations What is the casting number on the block, should be above and behind the starter?

Engine #
Engine # CR115183 can only be I think a 1946 Canadian right hand drive light commercial unit from a 1/2 ton to 1 ton truck. A 1941 equivalent would be # CR3556863 – CR3761521.

Alignment of the numbers
Hi Andrew
Your picture shows what I was wondering about the alignment of the numbers which is not as even as have seen on most of the Chevy engines that I have seen, makes me wonder if it was not punched at the factory. It will be interesting when you disassemble the engine to see if the number under the side cover is the same. Cheers Phil

Numbering system
Don't get me started on this! It causes my numiscalcula! After 1933 Walkerville Transmssion Plant split engine # allcoations up into batches, as against the US Flint Motor Plant's sequential series. However Flint changed that when the 1937 216 came in, with a new series starting again. Walkerville did likewise, but then moved to a new system in 1946 Model Year after the Auto Workers' Strike was settled. Then you have different series for 235, 224, 248 engines...with different prefixes! I maintain my database which quotes published engine # and serial # data and then on actual vehicles' numbers. It is not perfect and never will be but it enables me to see that there was a lot of changing-around of numbering systems in GM of C!
