Following the theme of this thread
Can anyone shed some light on this strange number combination
right head c81t-bh
left head c81t-6019
Number stamped on right rear valley 12 with underneath b5102
On bellhousing sunken cast number 232
I can not find any other numbers
Engine number dosent seem right for a cmp engine

Thanks
I spoke with a guy yesterday from an Antique Ford shop. He said that the "C" of C81T, indicates that it was made for the military. If that is correct, would that mean it could be for the Ford CMP? I am not familiar with those trucks at all so I am Guessing.

The "C" in the part no means it was made by Ford Canada. The C81T heads were used on Canadian 239ci engines from 1939 to 1945, military and civilian, in Ford Trucks and Mercury Cars and Trucks. Military applications included the range of Ford CMPs, Carriers fitted with the 95hp engine (eg Aust LP2), the Lynx A/Car and many others.

Thanks Tony for the information. That has cleared a few more things up. I posted this link earlier in the thread.

Do all Ford flat head V8 239 cu in engines have the removeable section of the bell housing at the bottom?

This type was from about 1946 onwards, easier to work on clutch. This type does not fit into Carriers as the bottom flange on the sump will hit the floor of the Carrier and will not let the engine settle in the proper position, so Carriers need the one piece sump, Cheers Andrew.

Al, the various sumps are interchangeable on the different engines, but not in a carrier A std. U.C. carrier should have the 11 inch clutch plate and the associated bus (heavy springs) 11 inch pressure plate, but because the two piece sump does not fit in the carrier (read Andrews post) you have to fit the clutch before the sump is fitted. There is also a one piece sump with a big removeable plate on the bottom. They dont fit either (I'm not 100% sure about this? Can someone confirm?) You need a std car sump for most carriers.
