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.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
