The serial number on the block is a dead giveaway;
Engine # P15*648893* Plymouth 6 Special De Luxe
1948 P15 217.8 compression 6.60, 95hp @ 3600 rpm 172 ft lbs @ 1200 rpm
It is a 218 CID and not a T137 PW 230 Engine. I think the head was trimmed but not sure yet. I know it is bored .040 over. Once I measure things I will know more. Waiting on tools. Nice thing about a Power Wagon Restore there is TONs of stuff you can do just using elbow grease. I figure it all has to be done and the gravy pretty stuff is last.
