Military jeep engines serial numbers started with an M, and and early jeeps are know as MA, MB, MC, or MD and have 5 numbers after the letters. Look again very close on the water pump boss and you will see that your serial number is actually MD54192 instead of MO54192. Your jeep engine is for a military M38A1. |
