It's a 3LW. All LW series had 4.25 bore by 6inch stroke. LX and LXB engines had 4.75 inch bore by 6 inch stroke only built as 6 and 8 cylinder engines.
Whoops. Fancy thinking it was a 4 cyl. I would have said it might be an LW but didn't want to put my foot in it. Too late now! Thanks for your comments.
If the GARDNER oval plates on the cylinder heads are original then it is definitly a 3LW. If it had KROMHOUT on these plates then it would be a 3LS.

The engine is definitly a 3 LW, they only did LX's in 6 or 8 cylinder.

Looks a bit small for an LW, probably an LX.

About early 1940's vintage?

I think that engine might be a gardner 3cylinder engine model 3LW.
