I have gotten onto another complete motor, it's a grey out of an EK but the engine number they swear is ID1556 seems really odd, has these sequence been herd of by anyone?

Thanks

Peter

Haven't seen a prefix starting with letters "ID" before

If its engine number is 1556 with no prefix at all then it would be a VERY early FX engine.

Could it be 101556 ?

Could it be a replacement block or stamped by the police, I have heard of this with some motors.

Police numbers in NSW usually have an "N" and "P" and Victoria Police engines have a "V" and a "P" stamped.

I've seen examples of both engines with NP and VP numbers.

Don't know about other states stamping codes for replacement blocks.

i thought the police No type thing also know the N and P thing but thought another state or possably done pre this

"I've seen examples of both engines with NP and VP numbers"

How do we get on if it has all 4 letters ???... NPVP...

So... what we have here is a motor that was stolen from a person who stole it from another person..........


Now that is what i call a VERY HOT motor.

Awwwww ...... come on Reddo, now you're being silly

Thanks guys, I think I'll have to go and have a gander myself, I'll let you all know what I find out.

Cheers

one of them Canadian blocks I bet

Well I picked up this motor today and yes it is indeed ID1556 as the engine number, appears to be genuine as the style and size of letters and numbers is like the orginal stampings. This motor was originally fitted to a truck apparently and is painted a green colour. Is a very good runner too!

Unless its one of those industrial grey motors GMH sold to power generators,forklifts etc.

That may explain the odd engine number??

I had a NOS Nasco grey motor replacement block years ago with a weird engine number ( can't remember what the engine number was as it was over 20 years ago now ) and it was painted a lightish green sort of colour.

That would be it I'd say, I wonder if there are any internal differences, externally it looks exactly the same, just green not grey. Here's a pic of the number

That appears to be the same colour as the Nasco replacement block I had years ago ( which I stupidly gave away ) so I'd guess that engine would either be a replacement block or ex industrial motor that GMH made for various industrial applications.

Unless its been restamped as there appers to be a "step" in the machined face of the number pad..... or it is just the photo that makes it appear so??

It does look that way, must check when I get back home.
