I posted this in the Massey forum but I need more views.
Full backstory, I have a friend who pulled this "supposedly" new Massey Perkins engine block out of a scrap pile. It has a 3.875" bore, possibly making it a 4.236. Mains are installed on the block.
He says it was mixed in with a bunch of red harvester sheet metal parts, etc., so that's why he's assuming it's a Massey Perkins. I can't find an image of a similarly casted 4.236, especially with that tappet cover, or any other Perkins for that matter. I haven't seen the same casting number either.
I'm starting to doubt it's Massey Perkins, and I scraped the black coating (cosmoline?) and some of that red primer off in normal Perkins block stamping locations and there are no numbers to be found. So all we're left with is the casting number, 37112440 and the possible date casting 26 K 64. I think it could possibly be a Fiat/Hesston, or some random model that had a special application, or someone's copy of a Perkins? I don't know, so that's why I need y'all's wisdom. Thanks in advance.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
