This engine, designed in 1917 and put into production in 1918, aka the Liberty Truck engine, is identified in some of my old engine parts catalogs as the Cont'l B2 43/4x6, altho cooperatively built by several engine m'f'rs...
Put into production in 1918, military production was supposedly continued after the war for experimental modifications to the Class B trucks...
Continental also sold a B2 engine, roughly 1918-32, to some thirty civilian m'f'r's,
and those old catalogs make no mention of different military/civilian versions...
Does anyone here know if the civilian B2s were the same as, or had differences from, the military engines, or whether the civilian B2s would be suitable/acceptable to Class B truck restorers??
My apologies if this's in the wrong pew; any comments appreciated!! Many thxx!! Bud Tierney
