Dodge flathead engine ID

Can anyone identify this engine? Engine number is 2B18456, possibly prefixed with KEW). The old guy who has it reckons he had the same type of engine in his ski boat and it was from a Fargo. Is it a 23 1/2 or 25 1/2 inch engine and what capacity?

Thanks

Prefixs on mopars start will, C- for chrysler, D- for dodge, & P- for plymouth.

 

The KEW was a prefix used in British production Dodges, and sometimes exported to Australia. The Dodge Power Wagon guys have researched production numbers fairly extensively. I'll include a few links for you to research their stuff. On the search page, just type in KEW. Good luck!

thanks mate. Will check it out

 

The Kew is a 251 c.i. six that is "25 inches " long.

 

Thanks KEW. as far as I could find out the engine was from a Chrysler Royal AP2 or similar. Anyway, not going to buy it as it is only a block, manifolds and a cracked head. Maybe you could answer a few other questions for me from time to time. Know where I can get a 230 ring gear?

 

Jim Robertson in Victoria or Les Sonter in Sydney may be able to help.

In the states, the place to go is Vintage Power Wagon. They have an extensive on-line catalog. They're very knowledgeable and helpful.
