My 37 Terraplane has the numbers 51037 152500 on the left side of the engine then H 2
Can anyone decode that for me
152500 is. most likely, a 1937 212 engine manufactured in Aug 1937 (H2). Rick Pinder is the guru on these casting code and will be able to correct me if I'm wrong (I'm working from his sheets). His email is HETpinder1@ameritech.net (drop the HET)

Gordon, Yes, the 152500 is the casting code for the 1937-38 Hudson and Terraplane 6 cyl.
The first number you have listed is the date of the casting. 5 10 37. The H is the logo for the foundry.
I have not determined the identity of those with the "H" as yet. But many of the blocks cast in the 1930's are from this
foundry. Does anyone have any idea what foundry the H represents ???
