===1932-1937=== *21 studs holding on the heads. *1932-'36: water pumps located at the front of each head, upper radiator hoses attach to water pumps. *1937: water pumps moved to the front of the block, upper radiator attach at outlet in center of heads. 1937 engines may run the earlier water pump heads and use "block-off plates" in place of the pumps in the block. *1932-'36: poured main bearings until October 1935 when an inserted main bearing engine was introduced. Both poured and inserted styles were available through 1936. Some inserted engines were stamped "LB" but many were not; there is no sure external way to identify them and many "stamped" engines are bogus. The oil pan must be removed and mains inspected. *1937: blocks have insert main bearings. *Front-mounted distributor driven directly off the camshaft, coil mounted in distributor with 3 screws. **1932-'36 early: three screws. **1936 late: 2 screws at angle. *221 cubic inch displacement. *1932-'33: 1-barrel carburetor. *1934-'37: 2-barrel carburetor. *Bell housing is cast in as part of the block. *Bore and stroke is 3.0625" x 3.750".
