1933 Engine Swap

Recently purchased a 1933 Chevy Master 4 door sedan with a bad engine. I also purchased what I thought was a 1933 engine that came out of a coupe to rebuild. Unfortunately the engines are not the same. The one in the car has a casting number 836915, G 19 3. The one on my barn floor has a casting number 473180, B 23 3. ( different size distributor cap, different engine mounts, different water pump configuration...ect.) Can anyone tell me what I have? Are any parts interchangeable between these two engines?

Casting number 836915 is the correct engine for a 1933 Master. I could not find anything on the casting number for the 1933 Standard engine in my manuals, but the Std had a smaller diameter distributor / cap, and the water pump is rectangular and mounted on the front of cylinder head rather than in the front of the block.

My Hollander shows the 473180 as a 1933 Chevy standard engine. Marv.

Will any other engine fit or do I have to have a 1933 Master engine (32, 34, 35 etc...)? Was Chevrolet building different style engines each year?

Chevy did use two motors in 33. The year started with a 206 ci. 65 h.p. motor. Midyear, with the new "Mercury model" a shortened stroke 181 ci. 60 h.p. motor was used. I'm not sure, but I think all other Chevy models came with the 206 thrugh out the year.

Well i think i couldn't find anything on the launching number for the 1933 Conventional engine in my guides, but the Std had less sized size supplier / cap, and the water push is rectangle-shaped and installed on the top side of cyndrical tube head rather than in the top side of the prevent. . . . . .

1934 and 1935 Engines were also 206 CI but there are some slight differences but I would think they would fit a 33 Master.

The same basic block was used through the 206.9 cubic inch 1936 engines (albeit with water passage changes, etc). The major change was in 1937 with the 216--completely different engine. A friend has 1931 Chevrolet that someone had put a 1936 engine into it. I think it bolted in without modifications. He since has a put in a 1931 engine.

Hello to all. I'm looking for an 1933 Master 181cu engine, either complete or the lower half, must be in a good condition.

Also i'm looking for a proper suitcase for on the trunk rack also the emblem on the rack.

Can anybody help me out here ? let me know please.

I'm living in the Netherlands.

best regards
