Head scratching mystery engine
 

Here's a mystery engine someone out there may recognize. :confused:

Originally I beleived it to be a .257 ci olds straight eight. In searching for a set of replacement head cover bolts a gentleman in California showed me pictures of his .257, mine looked different. now I believe my 1940 oldsmobile may have a Pontiac straight 8. The question now is what year is it and what are it's specifications? the following is a link to a video of the engine and front half of the car on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLxx4caApfE
