Does anyone know what engine number Ford started putting in the upper center main bearing?

All the upper mains in the block were left unbabbitted not just the center. Starting around engine No.38,263 Feb 14th. 1911 some were babbitted with enclosed valve chamber then around 46,236, all engines had the upper babbitt and enclosed valve chamber.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

Thanks for the info. I just bought a '10, and I wondered if this engine was one with the upper center main without Babbit.
