Joe forwarded this site. He writes, “Here’s a link from G503.com (from years ago) with lots of pics of a NOS engine found in the most unlikely of places…..  the warehouse of a company that made wooden shipping crates for the Army.  It’s an interesting story…..  especially for those restoring their M38’s back to original stock condition.”
