Block ID -908756

Post by Tom in RI » Wed Sep 29, 2004 2:22 pm

What is this block from?
Casting # 908756
No serial number

It has an M38 head 800376 and M38 waterpump.

I searched for 908756 on Google and see one message in the mil-veh archives with the same configuration asking for ID but there was no answer.
Is this a CJ or industrial block?

Thanks

Tom

I like that search engine on this site!

They made both IMB for 'industrial MB' and CJ2A industrial.

The 908759 assembly number tells me that the block casting number is 908756, and was introduced in May 2 of 1957 and run until some unknown date when the designation was changed to CJ2A.

It is basically an MB gear drive block with hardend valve inserts on intake and exhaust.

Besides different casting numbers, there is a provision below the distributor for a data plate.
