RE: [MarcosManiacs] Re: Engine numbers

2002-01-16 by Dan Orie

Thanks, I double-checked with Rory after I received the history, but they
checked again and couldn't find anything. 
I verified that my chassis plate had just the chassis number stamped on it.
Since my car was built for the USA, some states (I believe) tracked the
engine number, and I might be able to find it that way. However, since my
car has spent its entire life here in North America, I can say with almost
100 percent certainty that if it has an Essex drivetrain - which it does,
than it's original. I'm fairly certain that other than in specialty
low-volume cars, the basic Essex V6 - in its original form, didn't make it
over here, so it's highly unlikely that anybody would have found another to
swap, or get one from the UK as a replacement.

Dano,

My "history" papers from Rory included the engine/trans serial 
numbers.  On the Essex V6 the serial # is stamped in the block on a 
flat at the top/rear of the block just behind the right valve cover.

Mine has had one serial # crossed out and another added (the one Rory 
lists). Don't know why!
