The engine in my F.C.is No j42634 ,have done a search on the forum but unable to find this info ,is this an original F.C. motor or from a later or earlier model ,how does the prefix work ? thanks Steve . :)
Gday Steve,
I reckon your 'J' prefix engine would be out of an EJ.
To the best of my knowledge, the engine numbers (for Holden Grey Motors) are as follows:
- No Prefix Letter 1001 (first engine in a 48-215) up to about 280 000 were originally fitted to FX-FJ.
- 'U' Prefix engines were fitted to FJ utes & vans after FE was released.
- 'L' Prefix engines were originally fitted to FE/FC
- 'B' Prefix engines were in FB/EK,
and as I said earlier, 'J' for EJ.
If I've made a mistake or omission, I'm sure someone will correct me.
regards,
Shayne.
Shayne, thanks for that information ,Steve ;)
