    I believe so, but don't have that data in the car manual. I have seen a few Terrier engines and I'm sure they fitted the pattern. BTW "4400" was auto, no accessories.

    G`day ,

    44D is the first of the 4.0ltr crossbolted P38a as in 1994 and is the lower compression ratio . ( 42D is the Higher compression ratio of the date )

    57D is the next 4.0ltr crossbolted P38a of the lower ratio and began in 1998 when they had supposedly started grading the blocks , i have a failed one of these in a box in the shed .

    Also have in use an 86D which is one of the later 4.0ltr crossbolted P38a of the lower ratio .

    Why do you say "part" engine number ? If there is a letter infront it may be an S but other wise isn`t that number complete ?

    Thanks for the information - the pic I had of the engine number seemed to have something a little obscured in front of the first 4 hence I initially thought there was another number in front.

    The engine attached to the engine number was being advertised for sale as a 4.6 and caught my interest hence the queries on what the engine actually was. I have advised the seller that it is a 4.0 and not a 4.6 and he has amended the ad accordingly. I thought I had got onto a cheap 4.6 so am a bit disappointed.

    Hi All,

    I have recently purchased an SIII with a V8 installed.
    The engine number is 35515612B which I thought was an 1970-83 Range Rover engine. However, a serch on the internet sugested the engine number should end with 1C,D,E or F and not 2B as mine does.
    Can anybody kindy shed any light on this so I know what I am dealing with, thanks.

    Cheers
    Graham

    I wouldn't worry too much about the "B" you have to go from "suffix A" and "suffix B" to get to "suffix C" and the "355" is the correct prefix for a early Range Rover RHD. You'd have to hit the early RR books and particularly the "Rover Service Bulletins" to identify what were the changes/specification of your "B" suffix.

    The rest of the number "15612" is the actual serial number of your engine.

    Thanks Diana,
    Thought as much, as I'm new to early V8's its worth asking those with way more knowledge than myself...

    Cheers

    Buy it and fit the 4.6 crankshaft, rods, and pistons that you now have.

    Don't let anyone ever say you're slow off the mark Ron!

    I do regret not getting that 4.0 now but at the time I did not know the 4.6 internals would be coming along. It was apparently in good nick.

    I have a lead on another low km 4.0 that had a blown head gasket - it is at the back of the engine near one of the water outlets so may actually have been a blown gasket rather than a slipped liner. Even if it is a slipped liner the relevant cylinder is known and might be worth just top hatting that cylinder - but I will need to pull it down to check it all out.

    On the basis of what I have learnt through AULRO I would say the centre two liners on the right hand bank of the 4.6 block I have now (thanks Ron), have slipped. The liners are perfectly lined up so on initial inspection all seems OK, however all the other cylinders have the usual carbon build up but these two are nice and clean from the steam cleaning associated with slipped liners.

    I would probably run with this block if I could find a Rover engine expert who could assess the block's suitability for relining - there is no one local and I would have to send it to Melbourne or Sydney for assessment. If the block is cracked at the bottom of these liners then even with top hats the water chamber in the block is likely to be open at the bottom.

    Cheers
