I’m interested. What is your GPW’s serial number? I have 6 or 7 spare GPW blocks.

The date on the bottom of the block is
9 23 41
The engine has gone through a full rebuild with receipts.
My frame number is GPW 130906

That is very interesting to have an MB block stamped MB100356 and have a machining date of 9-23-41. The Maching date is at least 1 month prior to the first MB coming off of the line. But stranger things have been found.

A lot of VEP Fords seem to have received Wilson blocks cast around october 41, while the first GPWs were only delivered in January and February
GPW #3606 “LIBBY”
