I need help in identifying the flathead in my 36 Dodge D2. Head # is 636175-2 I found two numbers on the block. 1. 633329-5 under the starter 2. D2-234491 or I, hard to tell if the last digit is a 1 or an I. This is right next to the oil filler tube. Thanks in advance. Regards, Marco
D2....that's the model of engine, that's the model of car, so it sounds to me like it might be original.
D2 serial number indicates a 1936 Dodge. It should be a 217.8 cu in 87HP six cylinder flathead. In other words it is the original motor, or at least, one out of the same year Dodge. The stamped number on the pad at the top of the block is the serial number, this is used to identify the engine and the car for all practical purposes. The raised number is a casing number used to identify unfinished parts in the factory back in 1936. It can be used to identify parts today but only if you have a list of casting numbers which are practically impossible to find. Very old Hollander interchange manuals use casting numbers but who has a collection of old Hollander manuals.
Like to thank all of you for the valuable information. I know Muscle cars being that I grew up in the back of my dad's 68 Charger R/T which I still own, but working on a 30's car is a different beast.
You might like to know that the engine in your car was used by Dodge and Plymouth for many years, in cars up to 1959 and Dodge trucks up to 1962. This means many parts are available. There were improvements made over the years. One was, they made the water jackets the full length of the cylinders starting in 1937 or 38. To do this they had to move the starter over. This means the block, flywheel, starter, and bellhousing had to be changed.
