Engine number
While there is good information on body numbers, I have not been able to find anything on engine numbers to establish when it was built. Does anyone know of a list? Was it a world wide system or different numbers for different markets? Mine is 2390184 which is a hell of a lot of 12As if it is a significant item.
Its a great pity the engine number does not line up with the body number. One of my tow vehicles is a Ford Fairmont Ghia where the two are identical. If I ever got a rebuilt engine I would hate to think it was an older series. In addition to the vin no, my car has an additional tag RX7 CSH 25X which also must signify something. |

Go for it mike... we won't tell *grin*

For VIN info, try here: http://www.wigglepup.com/RX-7/ref_vin.php
It's not engine specific, but will tell you when the car was constructed. I have a carfax account but find their info pretty vague. |
the only people that i know of that can tell you if the motor is original, is the dealer. if you have them run a warranty report, it usually has the engine number on it.
the number seems to mean nothing by itself mike |

The engine number is usually on the leftside of the engine near the distributor. mine is 12A2390184 in a 1985 model car body number SA22C 702986.

I dont know how to interput this picture or the serial numbers on the motor, all I know is what they sent me for $20. Man I was hoping someone would get some use out of this, only 20 downloads so far?
