Hi

Does anyone know if you can determine what source car a V8 was from. I`ve acquired and v8 long block with the following code

38531936E

and wondered if anyone could tell me its origin. It has the tall oil filler on the rocker cover. Isn`t the the SD1 variant?

Thanks
 
Can't find that number, but here's a few :) (shamelessly stolen from another forum)

Awesome, thanks quattro.

Seems like the best fit (based on someone misreading the numbers) would be the 35500001C,D,E R.R Carb 8.25:1 cr 1970-83 series.

Whatever I end up with , it will be an improvement on the current one with the wrecked attempt to drill out the inlet manifold bolt!

Cheers
