Probably a casting number. If a 46 it would have a 59 on top of the bell housing visible looking straight down to the housing. Paul in CT

Unfortunately, there were no numbers on the block to identify it. Those casting numbers don't tell you anything. Here is a quote from VanPelt Sales' web site: "The foundry would also place what were probably "lot" or "production" numbers in the castings on all blocks. These were usually a small group of letters and numbers cast on the top of the bell housing....right next to the vertical surface of the back of the block. Unfortunately, any records of these numbers are long gone and they provide no clues as to the particulars of any engines." VanPelt's detailed engine identification page can probably help you pin down which series engine you have. (i.e. 59 series, new 1946-48) But nothing on the engine can tell you exactly when the engine was manufactured. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_specifications.htm

Then that probably is stamped on the trans, near the bell housing. If it agrees with the car's serial number, you still have the original trans in the car, which I understand is uncommon to find.
