Trying to get info on c-38 block

[Guest michael.e]

Hi

I have a c-38 spitfire engine stamped c38-163376 that is not original to my 1947 Dodge truck. I have run into trouble time and again when buying parts for the engine because I really don't know anything about it aside from its really similar to the original flat head 6 that came in it, a Chrysler t128. Most recently I have been starting the search for a water distribution tube, but before purchasing, I should find out first all I can about this c-38 engine because it sounds like those tubes are made for certain size blocks. Not a one size fits all sort of deal. And finding out what kind of car it originally came out of would be kind of neat too If anyone can decode that number for me or point me to an online resource where I could find the number I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You have a 25" 251CI Spitfire six out of a 1946-48 Chrysler Royale or Windsor 6. Get a WDT for the 25" flathead six.
