Engine number query

Post by Jason »

Howdy Groovers,

I was pulling some bits off my spare engine to help rebuild my main engine and noticed the weird engine number. I'm guessing the high number "174152" being without prefix of 'B' or 'L' means that it is a 132 grey out of an FJ. It is on quite an angle so I'm not sure if the assembler was pissed or it's a number that has been ground and replaced, the 948X markings perpendicular main number has got me a bit stumped. The motor came out of and FB, Perth built.

Cheers

Jason

Can someone please post a list of the prefix numbers please, I know that J indicates a EJ block but what about L etc. Thanks.

the search function is your friend - the engine number thing has been discussed many times, have a surf around and you will find everything you need to know mate :thumbsup:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
