Still need a late Dec 43 rebuildable engine for my 6 Jan 44 MB #293962 . Any one out there sitting on one?

Any good rebuildable engine? or a correct MB engine with a 12-? casting date in the 3xxxxx range? Closest I have is one 5 month earlier than what you need and another 5 months later.

When you get your Nabholtz book, on page two, you will see your jeep is most likely around the 700th built in Jan of 44

Good rebuild-able is the priority as it has a gear engine in it currently. Close to the correct date would be better.

I have a one in storage; will be at my house in Henderson in a few weeks. I am at 235 Dogwood Street which is about 5.3 miles from your shop. If my notes are accurate it is MB-566409; MB-243379 and MB-369616 are in MD, but I could bring one out next road trip. We are slowly relocating to NV. BTW I have GPW-271088; where was yours built?

I have a correct '44 - cast on Feb 29 - the rare and elusive leap day engine.
