MB 394403
I'm pretty sure it's an ACM Type 2 Composite body, according to the Tub Timeline chart on this forum by Darryl D. And I'm not sure if what I posted is the Engine Number or just the engine block foundry casting number, but it seems to be a CJ2A 641087-L-W3 transition engine block dated 11-4. The engine serial number might be J177755, if I am understanding identification of these things correctly. The engine head is dated 2-12 and is a 640161 style head. I believe that could also be a CJ2A/3A part.
