Seeing these old documents is awesome!

I will bet that the crate motor is gear drive. Those 1MB prefix engines are all in the time frame of gear drive.

The Army would have used whatever engine was available to repair a broken Jeep. No need to scrap good chain drive engines.

The head and block tell you it was later, and honestly I think what appears as primer is part #680305 motor enamel all state orange.

There were several contracts for 1-MB motors.

Based on Serial, this is a later contract after the early ones were depleted.

Glad I don't come across such things in parts deals. A brand new engine in a crate would present a real dilemma for me.. The devil on my shoulder would be tempting me to use it in a Jeep, but the angel on the other shoulder would be telling me it should be left as is in the crate. 

All seriousness aside, it would be a shame to take that out of the crate. It needs to be on display in my man cave. 
If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

It's been 15 years since I found two ALUMINUM L-Head bare blocks. NEW in the Kaiser aluminum box.

If I ever get them, I plan to build one, and display the other in a museum next to a Bobcat display.
