Guest mike bl Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I aquired a sawmill built on a Ford T frame with a Pontiac 6 engine. I am a T guy so would like to find a home for the engine but first i want to verify what I have. My wild guess a January forth, 1928 casting date. Engine serial number P235261. Head #s front 526117-10, rear 526117-2. block casting date A48 perhaps. This engine is complete with a zenith carb as found on a Ford A and has a three speed trans with universal. I will start it the next day or two to check for knocks. Sure hope some one can help. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kaycee Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi, I believe ( as you do) that this is an early'28 engine. The '28 engine numbers went fromP-213000 to P-461000 according to my parts book. The heads numbers show 526117 for each head for '26 '27,'28, and '29. The '28 &'29 engines had fuel pumps, and '26&'27 engines had vacuum tanks, so you should have a fuel pump on yours. 'Hope I helped. Have a good weekend! kaycee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike bl Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Kaycee, thanks for the info I waited until I started the engine to reply. It runs but has a cam speed knock. I wonder what year Pontiacs were introduced and if this engine was used in the Oakland? BTW it had a fuel pump at some time. If anyone reading this wants this engine/trans it's free just pick it up here. I'm located in California near the Oregon border.

Guest kaycee Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks Mike, 'Glad I was able to help. The first Pontiac came out in 1926 available in only the coupe or 2dr.sedan (coach) body styles. According to my parts books, theOakland 6 was a different engine although Pontiac also had a V8 offered one year in '32 in addition to their 6 cyl. The parts book indicates that the same engine block on your '28 was used in '26,'27, and '28, but with your serial number you definately have a '28 engine. I wish I was closer to your location 'cause I have a '28 4dr. sedan that I would'nt mind having an extra engine for, and need to pull my engine out one of these days to replace the flywheel ring gear (one chipped tooth, but I have a new ring gear). I don't know what shipping your engine to Illinois would cost, but going by the weight, probably a mint. kaycee e-mail littleeight@att.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
