More importantly, it should be a 24 stud engine with 3 3/16 bore giving 239ci, and it should have an integral bellhousing on the rear with the distributor mounted on the front cover.
Most Ford cars and trucks from '37 to 45 had a 3 1/16 bore 221ci engine. The Blitz and Aust Carriers had the 239 engine from the Mercury. Ford finally changed to 239 engines from the commencement of civvy production in 46. In 1949, a new style of 239 engine came out with a conventional style distributor in front of the right cylinder bank and without an integral bellhousing on the back.
