Aside from the obvious, what does that go in?

Re: Craigslist 1941 Caddy engine
It is not a USGI engine or block. It does not have the casting for any of the mounts for Stuart, Chaffee, or LVT. Transmission is also for a car and not useable. WISH it was a GI block at least, but.......Thanks for posting though!

Re: Craigslist 1941 Caddy engine
Thanks for the clarification. Since he said military heads I thought it might be an armored engine that someone could use, but guess not. Oh well.

There are two versions of the GI Block. I used to hear my instructors tell of carboned up M-19 engines that were cleaned by reving them up and pouring rice into the carburetors.

Re: Craigslist 1941 Caddy engine
I thought a water stream poured in a carb removed the carbon?

Generally, a hose full of water is easier to come by than rice unless you're at a wedding chapel.

Re: Craigslist 1941 Caddy engine
Maybe it's supposed to be cooked rice WITH the water?
In any case - white or brown?
