Topic: engine ID year?

  The number looks like 99C-1999973 and I can't find it in the tables...C sometimes means commercial
Thanks for any help.

  1948

  The number on a transmission does not identify the engine unless it is original to the engine. All you can determine is that your engine is no later than 1948.

  Alan, from the number on the transmission, he can't even determine his engine is no later than '48. All he can determine is the transmission is '48.
From all we know there could be a Rocket 88 under the hood.
