Hi Guys
I have removed a 2 1/4 litre from my 80" and am about to return to it an =
engine with a number only 52 away from it's rear axle number so I guess =
it's an appropriate engine for the vehicle.
What bothers me is how do all the numbers come about. I understand that =
the VIN/chassis number represents the year, Basic/SW/MW, driver side and =
delivery location/type but I thought all the other numbers, engine, =
gearbox, front and rear axles, should approximate each other.
If there were 17360 vehicles in my vehicles manufacture year and only =
2322 of those RHD-CKD why are there 4189 serial numbers between my front =
and rear axles but only 112 between the gearbox and front axle. Would =
these items have been the originals or could they also have been swapped =
like the engine? =20
While on the subject of numbers, can anyone tell me year of the 2 1/4 =
litre engine from its engine number 25127945a?
