I am trying to establish the origins of the V8 I have in my Cortina Mk 2. I am told it is from a late P6 but some of the information conflicts.
Engine number is 451113000 which I beleive is P6 Auto 1967 to 76 but the list shows a compression ratio of 10.5:1. Mine has CR 925:1 stamped above the engine number.
There is a number on the drivers side head.
ERC 0216 X and below that is 3 E652.
I was told it had been bored out to 3.9 litres and it has a mighty Edlebrock carb. What power level should I expect.
Sorry this is not about a P6 but I can claim a link. My dad had one of the early 2000's (single carb) E reg in 1967. It was his pride and joy and he made the mistake of lending it to me as a 20 year old to pick up my girlfriend. I colided with a Morris Minor that suffered no damage. The back door of the Rover was concave. Fortunately we had a visiting Methodist Minister staying with us and by the time he had left my dad had calmed down.
