We will keep our fingers crossed. Maybe they will show up at the Holiday Party on Friday with the boat in tow...

According to him, Ford produced this block from 1937 to 1940 in the US, longer in Canada. Later still the tooling was sold to a French company. They were primarily used in sprint cars and midget racers, but many were converted to marine use.

Woody Boater had one featured in 2008 that had similar round chines and port helm. The shape of the keel looks a lot like my '54 Trojan Sea Queen. Might this be another U.S. Plywood boat?

I can sort of count 17 studs on the head in one of the pictures. 1940 final year of production on that motor. Looks like a homemade marine conversion. Looks like a V-8 60 to me.
