More than a few of these, mine included, were converted to Chrysler flathead sixes by their civilian owners for more power. If I remember correctly, one of the earmarks was the front mount had to be reversed so that the tabs pointed backwards because the Chryslers were longer. If I can share some advice that was costly for me to learn... First; don't try putting truck connecting rods in a passenger car block, they're longer and tend to hit things, like the top of the combustion chamber. Second; don't forget to install a fresh, new water distribution tube when rebuilding the engine. Otherwise the water just circulates around the front one or two cylinders giving no cooling to the back of the engine. Generally the old tube is miserable to remove, make sure you got all of it out.
