Jon Skovseth Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Long story short, I have acquired a 1940 2627 deluxe coupe after many years of indoor then outdoor storage, original everything but engine and radiator is missing. Gearbox is still there. I found a 6cyl engine with bellhousing but I'm pretty sure its from a postwar car. The engine ID number on the block is 676259 can anyone help with correlation to a year? What issues will there be to hook this up to the 40 gear box? Is there any interchange with other GM radiators? I think the body number is C 15, if so is this an early production car? Thanks for your help!(sorry if this is a duplicate, the pictures didn't load the first time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
