Re: engine change
Laz,
That engine number corresponds with about an August 62 delivery date here in Aus. Actual manufacture could be three or more months before that given that these 8AM motors were UK sourced.
It would be interesting to hear what sort of date an engine with a similar number that stayed in the UK would be dated?
Hope this helps
