Replacement of the original engine in a WDX-WM300 Power-Wagon was common practice over the often hard lives of these trucks.
If the numbers on the engine in a Power-Wagon do not match the numbers on the Power-Wagon Engine Page then the engine may have been replaced, and the list below may help determine what the engine came from. Most of the numbers were collected from parts books, and other Factory literature, but have not been verified by actual cars and trucks in the field.
This means that it is possible that some of the data below, while correct according to the parts books, may not match the practice followed on the assembly line.
The location of the engine number is basically the same on all 23" and 25" long Flathead six engines, on a raised pad, on the drivers side of the engine, about 4" back from the front of the block, just below the head. The engine pictured below is from a 1951 or 1952 B-3-PW6-126 Power-Wagon.
