Hello. I have a question. Wilston Foundry built for Ford engines. Does the company have delivered the only engine blocks or with attachments. Best Ragards Leo

Wilson Foundry would have delivered a bare machined block to either Willys or Ford.

Hallo Tom
Thanks Tom for the quick response. As you point, I have a 42 script but it's a Wilston foundry engine installed 09:43 is stamped under the engine block.

Hi all, I have a generator with GPW engine. I think a Foundry Wilson block GPW - 16286, Casting date 3-25, 638632 W1 and machine date on the oilpan flange 3-27-42, Ford head, early waterpump, early oilpan with rivets and a Ford crankshaft. No GPW casting on the block, regards Jacob Bonsink
