A M38 engine serial number should start with a MC. You have a MB block with a later head. The head may be correct for a M38. This head should work on a MB engine. The only thing that I can think that may not work is the bypass hose between the late head and the MB water pump (if it has a MB water pump). MB's did not have this hose. I have a great running M38 engine in my MB, but I live in Pennsylvania.
