Too bad the data plate was missing.....
As for a DoD.....
Ford motor Co. records show the original motor GP-8920 as being assembled on March 17, 1941. I would guess the DoD to be March 20 or 21, 1941.
Motors were usually produced 3 working days before being used in the assembly line.
For a USA number ...It would be somewhere between W-2017810 ( DoD 3/18) to W-2017893 ( DoD 3/21)
Hope this helps....
