Numbering system
Don't get me started on this! It causes my numiscalcula! After 1933 Walkerville Transmssion Plant split engine # allcoations up into batches, as against the US Flint Motor Plant's sequential series. However Flint changed that when the 1937 216 came in, with a new series starting again. Walkerville did likewise, but then moved to a new system in 1946 Model Year after the Auto Workers' Strike was settled. Then you have different series for 235, 224, 248 engines...with different prefixes! I maintain my database which quotes published engine # and serial # data and then on actual vehicles' numbers. It is not perfect and never will be but it enables me to see that there was a lot of changing-around of numbering systems in GM of C!

Engine #s
This is quite amazing! If you can imagine, 60 + years later two engines have turned up that were built within a few minutes of each other at Walkerville! However, I seem to recall I have found similar examples before but will check.
A quick study of my database has: WR3943037 38444S0364 ENGINE WR3943036 ORDER W.O.8 S-M0E52-446 JULY 31 1944 [SYDNEY ASSEMBLED] 3844326725 ENGINE PR3943506 CDLV 1515 NOVERMBER 19 1943 3844326798 ENGINE PR3943551 CDLV 1515 NOVEMBER 22 1943 3844031469 ENGINE WR3947470 C.D.L.V.1798 FEBRUARY 23 1944 3844032286 ENGINE WR3949573 C.D.L.V. 1798 MARCH 8 1944
