Title: Identifying Engine in my FE ... Post by: Dave Lakin (Davo Lako) on August 24, 2012, 10:47:30 AM I am presently pulling engine down for a warmish rebuild and when removing the flywheel (to mount engine on stand) found that there were no flywheel attaching bolt locking tabs ... I recall reading somewhere on here that from 1958 onwards GMH didn't fit bolt locking tabs ...
This leads me to suspect that the engine (or perhaps just the flywheel) is post 1958 ??? The engine number is L622030 ... sorry Ken , forgot to give this when I posted the other codes . Any info appreciated gents ... Dave . Title: Re: Identifying Engine in my FE ... Post by: NES304 on August 24, 2012, 10:57:07 AM If you are trying to identify if the grey engine fitted to your Holden is original, the following engine number sequences may help:
48-215 numbers started at 1001 FJ numbers at 121694 FE numbers at L283373 FC numbers at L439507 FB numbers at B1001 EK numbers at B175814 EJ numbers at J1001 Mine was OCT58 and L50xxxxx so I'd guess yours late 59?

Referencing Ken's list October 1959 L615000 November 1959 L634000 So it is safe to say that your motor was installed in October 1959 Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: Identifying Engine in my FE ... Post by: Dave Lakin (Davo Lako) on August 24, 2012, 12:40:42 PM Thanks NES and Stewy ... makes sense !!!
