Engine
That's a civilian 37 to 39 truck engine , used in the CV range. Still quite ok for a CS8 , but the head & waterpump position are different . The coolant jacket is open on the civvy engines and enclosed on the military engines.The big ends are poured like a chev 216, expensive to rebuild.
BTW the engine nr. is on the brass disc ,( 50 cent coin size ) seen next to the distributor , just under the drain tap . The number will have a ' O ' prefix. The military engines were usually a ' OH ' prefix
