Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
Can't say for sure, because I haven't found a frame number yet, but between the gas-tank date stamp, engine number, vehicle mileage, engine condition, etc, etc, I'm better than 50% certain my Coupe has its original engine.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
Pardon my ignorance here, but with the body on, where/how can you see the s/n on a '28 pu to verify against the eng #. My eng matches the title, but that doesn't mean anything.

To understand more about the placement, go to my website www.plucks329s.org then go to Additional Studies, then go to Letters, Numbers and Codes and there you can educate yourself on the placement of the frame where the numbers are stamped.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
How do you determine that it has the original engine ?

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
First, the engine number must be an original stamped engine...NOT A RESTAMP. A restamp is an engine whose original number has been ground off and another number, other than the original, is stamped on the block.
Then, the engine number on that engine must match the number that was stamped on the upper surface of the left side frame rail in the vicinity of where the left cowl section sits on the frame, providing THAT number is the original stamped number in relation to the engine number. Most of these frame numbers are coverd by the splash aprons thus the splash aprons must be removed to view the number stamped on the frame. Pluck |
