    The last digit indicates the car series (5=Super). The others indicate the engine serial number. The engine is a 1948 where 4999881 was the first number used that year out of a total Buick run of around 215,000. Super engines that year were 248 cubic inch displacement.

    are they going to allow you to modify this or is it supposed to be as close to original as possible?
