Happy new year everyone, hope someone can tell me the year and anything else about this engine, the serial number is 63066115, it is a straight 8, any help is appreciated thanks Bob in maryland

1936 Century. The first digit 6 is for 60 series. It will fit the 80 and 90 series also but is correct only for the 60 series.

You need to provide some more information about the engine, as the serial number itself is somewhat vague.

If we assume 1941 and earlier:

6 = Series 60 (Century)

3066115 = sequential number unique to engine, range for 1936 is 3,001,000 to 3,166,224

This makes the engine a 320.

If we assume 1942 and later:

6306611 = sequential number unique to engine, range for 1951 is 6,240,100 to 6,646,229

5 = Series 50 (Super)

This makes the engine a 263.

The 320 is about 6 inches longer than the 263, so we need some more information (like valve cover length) or pictures.
