Thread: V8 Engine Numbers

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

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
