    John
    Your new engine no makes no sense. Assuming it is still the original it would be W and 4 digits -8
    The number sequence for a build date of June 1953 would be W 89 ??-8 or W 90??-8
    eg: 674067 is W 8897-8

    John, Probably sold to a US serviceman stationed in Italy at that time and then shipped back to the USA when the serviceman returned home.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
