Definately not the original serial number. The block looks like a 641087 casting.

Nothing particularly special. It was introduced in 1946 and used in CJ's,d M38's and as replacement motors for WWII Jeeps. CJ blocks were stamped 2J (CJ2A's), 3J (CJ3A's). M38 blocks were stamped MC or RMC. Industrial blocks, replacement blocks and utility blocks had different prefixes. I've never seen "MMS" before, but I have seen California assigned VIN's that end with "CAL"
