Good morning! I am looking for confirmation that this is a 1915 engine block. The way the block is stored, these are the best photos we could get. It is a bare block without pan, but it is a pre-generator block.
Number stamped above water outlet: 846105
Casting mark (?): 6 25 15
Thank you in advance for your review and information.

I’d be wary of the 2 holes with no seats... Hopefully they aren’t missing the seats because the holes were too big...

July 9, 1915 would be the date the engine bearing that serial number was assembled.

Adam, thank you for the insight. My buddy started putting in the hardened seats, there was some sort of defect there @ that cylinder that he wanted to check out before going further.

So, Andrew, how's come you have a pic of a Chevy in your profile?
