All 737's bar the 100/200 have CFM56 engines.

My mistake, your right CB and Toby, I mistakenly though the 300 still had JT8D's and they switched to the CFM56 with the 400.

They have properly identified the aircraft as a 737-300 (Freighter as it's a TNT aircraft) now in the linked story. No 737-400s have yet been converted to Freighter configuration.
