Dale, Kurt is right on the money. You have a 217.8 CI Industrial Chrysler. Bore is 3 1/4" X Stroke of 4 3/8". Compression Ratio of 6.6 to 1. Compression Pressure at cranking 110 to 140 Lbs. Maximum Torque of 172 F.Lbs at 1200RPM. Brake Horsepower (Gross) 95 at 3600RPM. Shorter Stroke than the original 230 in your M37 but if original, put together with premium components to last a long time. Hope this helps.
