What’s the casting date on your MB-458777 motor?

Not sure how to check that. Is it on the bottom of the block with the other casting numbers?

Yes. It's behind / below the starter towards the back of the block before the 638632. It will of the format XX - XX where the digit(s) to the left of the casting date are the month and the digit(s) to the right are the date. Yours will probably be 8 - 1x

Sorry the reply is late, don't get on 503 that much. Looks like 7-26. It was obscured by gunk and some paint.

Anyone got a late Feb to mid-March 1942 MB engine block in the 128XXX to 131XXX range they'd be willing to sell?

Any and all leads appreciated.

Looking for an MB motor cast in early to mid May 1944 with an approximate serial number of MB-418XXX to possibly 420XXX? I have several engines available for trade if interested.

I am in need of any GPW engine freshly rebuilt, would prefer one from mid-late ‘43 if possible. I have a late war MB engine (MB586138) in mine right now that will be surplus to my needs once I find a replacement. I’m located in Tucson, AZ.
