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 Title: Re: Grey motor details Post by: davids_ute on September 10, 2004, 08:42:30 AM 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 Title: Re: Grey motor details Post by: FE_UTE on September 10, 2004, 09:21:37 AM G'day peter
The engine is around mid Dec 1953 so its an early FJ Cheers Gary Title: Re: Grey motor details Post by: peterwmh on September 10, 2004, 07:03:20 PM 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 Title: Re: Grey motor details Post by: peterwmh on September 10, 2004, 08:38:30 PM 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 |
