Guys

That's interesting. The number stamped on the front of the engine block (next to the oil breather tube) starts with "V" which is not listed anywhere as a prefix for the Utica numbers. I haven't crawled around under the car to see if there is another number, but will do so and let you know.

The engine number stamped on the block is "V571150P". Also, the engine is painted red, but that may date back to when the car was restored in the mid-1980s. This engine number bears no resemblance to the car number - on the door jamb plate - which is 56226194.

I'm pretty certain that the engine has never been changed.

Cheers

Brian
