More pictures. Starting to think it’s not an mc91. Could be wrong though.

Looks like it might be a 49. Is the head a fixed head or bolted on ? 49 has a fixed head.

Re: Mac 91-M/C Info
Seems fixed. still unsure about it being a 49. its what i thouht it was for a while but i looked at the IPLs and there were some pretty major differing factors in the shape of the block and outlines of some gaskets.
**edit**
did some mild research, i think it is a 49. found a 49 block on ebay thats identical to mine. maybe the one in the IPLs was of a different variation or had some minor misprints.

Re: Mac 49-M/C Info
Now that i know what it actually is, how can i make more power?
Re: Mac 49-M/C Info
Buy a 91 series engine and sell the 49'er would be cheaper in the long run.
