Has a number on back of block that reads E8633 then below that is 59AB

  Gene, the 59AB is a 100hp engine, produced for Ford and Mercury from about 1946 through 1948. The bore and stroke of this engine is 3.1875 x 3.750. There was also a 59A starting in 1945, but I don't know of any difference in this engine, nor when it was superceded by the 59AB.
