Hi
I've finally disinterred my Series 2A V8 from a leaky barn where it's been buried for about 10 - 12years. It's a mess but hopefully a recoverable mess. My first issue is the engine number - the stamped number seems too short and it's possible most of the first digit missed the block!
It reads: o4133239F, with CR 8 1 3 1 above the number. The 'o' might be the bottom of a 3?
The only suffix 'F' with a CR of 8.13 I can find is the R/Rover carb model from 1970-83, but they seem to start at 35500001F, so even if the unintelligible first digit was a '3', my number would be 34133239F, too low for the R/Rover engine.
Sorry, rambled on a bit but anyone have any bright ideas?
Many thanks
Richard
