G`day ,
none of my stuff lists 55D .
However if you Google 55D Rover V8 you`ll find , for sales , around yr 2001 manual and Auto D2s with 55D engine numbers given , at least one in Qld and in Tas both listed as 4.0 ltr .
Also you`ll find listings for serpentine belts and water pumps that give 55D as a reference .
I`d guess the reason for the stamping of your block would be to do with the tophats fitting and cleaning up the block surface because this is a common way to loose the definition of the engine number when the block is skimmed .
After any engine has been worked on the only way to know what you have is by measuring .

As you Ebay 180847082973 , 2000 D2 engine # given SSD 03639A , if we take SS as being 55 ?

Peter,
Thanks for that very useful information - the engine is a 4.0 but the 55D prefix does not appear on any official engine number list I can find.
I just wanted to confirm the that the engine number I have was "real".
As you have found if you google 55D plenty comes up and can apply to either 4.0 engines in Aust or 4.6 engines overseas. There is even an LPG company that lists LPG kits for the 55D.
So on this basis the engine number refers to a Thor 4.0 - exactly what it is. I just wonder why the 55D prefix does not appear on the major engine number lists.
Thanks
Garry

Here is another one:cool:
My D2 originally had a 56D engine number, but now has an engine with something completely different.
Current motor is dot matrix style imprint CR 9.35:1 and engine prefix of
S88D
This prefix no-one seems to mention, yet it appears factory?
Anyone able to tell me more about the source and details of this motor?

G`day ,
the dots and the S ,
means it`s a Landrover Factory replacement as in came here in a crate not a vehicle .
From my searching there are no listings for these engines .
Some were blocks with pistons ,crank, ETC and some had cams and heads ETC as well .
9.35:1 is the basic UK ratio

S74DxxxxxA is the service replacement engine in my P38 fitted in 2002 at Lance Dixon (Melb) after loose liner probs.
So there's another number for the books!
Pete:)
