Re: mb block identification
Not a factory stamp, what are the other identifying factors on block, casting number, casting date, pic of top of water pump area. oil pan off, date under there?

Re: mb block identification
Is the flat above the water pump the long pad or short ww2 pad? water pump off? 2 holes under there or 1?

That’s the same French style of stamping that’s on the pad of my French rebuilt T-84.

Re: mb block identification
I have or had 2 W4 blocks from aug of 43. not many engines earlier than that in my personal records
My gpw block is from 43,with a mb number of MB156xxx pic of the serial number has a different font than yours.
might still have it, I dont remember.
Casting date of 8-xx could be a post war block too. need the oil pan off and a picture of the water pump top area. what head is on this? is this a timing chain engine? rivet in middle of timing cover.
