Hey Beater;
Throw a tape measure along side the head. If it's a little under 2ft it's probably a 230. If its a little over 2ft it's probably 265 or possibly a 251. If it's way over 2ft it's the "big six" (these also have 6 intake ports instead of 3) and it's a real rare deal that may be as big as 413! In any case I think it's worth saving.

On the front left corner of the engine, just below the head there should be a pad with a number in it. It should start with a T or an I, followed by a set of numbers. This will give you information on the original year and application of the motor. Some of these were originally in farm implements like combines and the such.

I think it's a "find"!
If you could get the whole thing, that would be the way to go. I think most of these engines had a compressor for the air brakes, but for sure what you have is the post WWII "Big Six". I'm sure it's heavy and large but also incredibly strong. It would take a bit of radical surgery to fit it anything "normal" but it would sure cause a crowd to collect. With minor tweaks, you would have about 250 Hp and tons of torque! I'd love to have that thing and I'm sure other inliners would as well. My problem is that I am just today making an offer on a house we want to move to, and the garage needs work (built 1929) so it will be months before I'm back to cars.

That is an amazing find! Get the whole engine if you can. Also the bellhousing, clutch and transmission.
This is a rare engine used only in heavy trucks. The parts will not fit anything else so without the whole engine they would be no good unless you want to hang them on the wall.
I'm thinking that engine in an old Dodge or Fargo pickup would be a real conversation piece! Don't forget to reinforce the front springs ha ha.

BotP...
That sounds very cool. Can't wait to see the pics. It also sounds like a case of who's got who. That thing must be huge heavy.

OK, it's unloaded. Here are some numbers: Behind the water jacket 9-24, middle of head 1483668, left side of block below starter 1320629-1, below that CWC and J204. On the lower right side of the block is an aluminum ID plate that says Chrysler Industrial Engine, Model ID 22A, Type 902, Serial 2405, Part Number is blank. At the bottom it says Chrysler Industrial Division, Trenton, Michigan U.S.A. Also cast into the left side in three lines is NICKELCHROME, MOLBDENUM, IRON. While looking for numbers I used a brush on the flat where the generator mounts and it polished right up. This could make a good looking engine! It turns over! Also on tranny 039921, 5-1-51, and NP in a gear which i think may be New Process? It's a 5 speed.

Wow!!!! That is great! I know it must have been a battle getting that thing out of it's original home. It sure is cool though. Now you need a cabover hotrod!
Thanks again, and take care of yourself

It might be an "exchange" rebuilt engine.

Real-estate is not moving here... sort of suspended animation (or maybe a coma) anyway I'm all for helping and maybe I could show up in B-ville in 2010, the place has always fascinated me but I’ve never been.
Keep us posted, this is fascinating stuff and I think the nose cone is the best (and most original) idea I've seen since the bubble top rods of the early 60's. You may start a whole new trend!

5 5/16 = Jack Pot!
It has to be a 413 produced only in '53 and '54. Rated at 171hp @ 3200 and 343 ft lbs at 1500RPM (!) so you sure won't need the 6 speed tranny! I think I saw where Egge has gaskets.
With a mild clean up and some big pipes this will make a noise that will send the rice rockets scurrying for cover. Man, this is gonna be good!

But at any rate I agree , I think I've found something worth saving. Someone here could do something good for it, I can't let it go for scrap. 
I haven't pulled the compressor to look for numbers but there is an aluminum plate on the lower right of the block that says Chrysler Industrial. The head is 30" by 9". Overall from the water pump pulley to the trans mating surface is 48". This is a big engine! I took every thing radiator to tranny including 3' of drive shaft. I was showing it to a friend on the way home and he said there was another on in the back if a big van a few miles from here.
