Title: Grey motor details
Post by: peterwmh on September 10, 2004, 05:16:00 AM

Hi all,

Is there a way of telling if a motor is genuine to a specific model? I have a grey out of a FJ ute, engine number 131686, would that be the engine for that model?

Thanks

Peter

pete,
you could try contacting an fx/fj club . they would have some sort of decoder that could tell you if its genuine or has been replaced. good luck
cheers david

G'day peter

The engine is around mid Dec 1953 so its an early FJ

Cheers
Gary

Thanks for your replies. I have had another confirmation on the build date also, another code on the side of the engine is L 16 3, which I was told means 16th December 1953 in this case, so Gary you were spot on!!

Thanks

Peter

OK this complete FJ motor and 3 speed box is available for sale, what price could I expect to get for it in your opinion? It has been unused for quite a long time and is 'dry seized', but the bore is good, so should free up OK.

Thanks

Peter
