Pretty rough, but cheap.
Anyone know what that engine is? Looks like a much later (than 1952) Chev Big Block.

Must be an engine retrofit. Too early for a Tonawanda big block and alternator.

You think it is a late engine too? I don't know what Seagrave used for chassis/engine. I also don't know of any other engines that had rocker covers, water pump, and distributor that looked that much like the Big Block, but there certainly could have been.

It's definitely a GM big block. And not the 409. Could have been built on a IH chassis, or Mack, or Reo, or Diamond, many choices when fire bodies were built for order. And engine choices were optional also. That big block was not manufactured in 1952. My guess would be a large 6 cylinder would have been OME.

I like the hole in the grille for a hand crank starter. I'd like to see a guy crank up that Mark IV big block by hand.
