knuckleharley Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 That one is going to be hard to beat. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Not sure about hard to beat...may be a problem with the membership here but with the POC or the WPC crowd or even members within the AACA....there are 180254 chances one will pop up as produced prior to your number.....P18 first engine number was 1001 Edited July 15, 2017 by Plymouthy Adams 3 Quote

If they are letters instead of numbers,his engine number is 255A. s Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Capital I is a one in the numbering system...clearly indicated by the very use of the letter in the PI8 for engine designation.. Edited July 15, 2017 by Plymouthy Adams Quote
knuckleharley Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 Just now, Plymouthy Adams said: Capital I is a one in the numbering system... Ok,thanks. I didn't know that. I thought it was some sort of production code letter. Quote

I now have a 230 as well as a 251,and am not yet sure which I will use. I may even keep the original engine in it if I can get it unstuck without breaking anything, It only has around 30k miles on it,but has been sitting since at least 1973. The finned aluminum head I am seriously looking for at this time is for the 226 cubic inch flathead 6 Ford engine in my 51 Ford business coupe. It's my current semi-daily driver. I prefer a Knudsen if I can find one because I have a 3x1 Knudsen intake for it,but a Edmunds would do me just fine,also. Ok,ok,I'm kidding. I'll be happy with anything I can find. Flat 6 Ford speed equipment is hard to find. Quote
_shel_ny Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Engine numbers were P18-1001 thru P18-509050 reference --Standard Catalog of American Cars 1946-1975---- 1 Quote
