Hi All,
I have just sourced a motor to recondition and fit into my (presently motorless) EK ute.
Engine number is B274539, which I am fairly sure is an EK motor, as I have read somewhere that EK numbers start at B175814.
Has anybody got a list of grey motors showing which numbers were manufactured in any particular month?
I am trying to keep the car as close to original as possible without being absolutely anal about it.
Cheers,
Gaz.

Yeh mate EK's start at about B175000.
Cheers Muza

Yep, shes an EK motor.

Roughly:
• FX numbers started at 1001,
• FJ numbers started at 121694,
• FE numbers started at L283373,
• FC numbers at L439507,
• FB numbers started at B1001,
• EK numbers started at B175814, and
• EJ numbers started at J1001.

Your best bet for more exact FB/EK build dates would be Steve Jackson, and for FE/FC Ken Mclean from the FE/FC forum.

Cheers, Harv

Thanks Guys,
I know it's an EK motor, but I'm trying to ascertain what month/year it was built.
The FE-FC site has a list of FE-FC numbers with that info, but not for FB-EK.
Can anybody help, or point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Gaz.

Try Stevie - though I don't know if he has build dates, or just the plate details:
