Engine Number Identification

[Mike Costigan]

You really need to be looking for the correct style of engine for the Ruby; they are readily available (you may even be able to choose a crankcase with number very near you car's original unit) and probably worth less than the early engine you have, so perhaps there will be someone interested in doing a swap maybe even with cash going your way! Make sure you get all the ancilliaries such as the forward-facing starter motor, screw-in oil filler stem, petrol pump, etc.
