A neighbour has recently acquired a 1953 80" with a Valiant motor in it. He has been offered a land rover engine to go in it but is unsure if it is correct enough for a '53 80". The engine number is 141800981. Can anyone tell me what the engine should be and manufacture period?

The engine number in my 1950 is 170901688. Does anyone know what model or year this is from. It is a later model 2litre but unsure of its origin.

Land-Rover Engine Numbers (http://www.allisons.org/ll/4/LandRover/S1/80-engine/)

this is a list of series 1 engine numbers and the changes associated with each.

Doesnt help with a s2 etc number but anyway...

(May be worth putting in "useful info file" Diana?)
