    2.25 diesel no engine number

    As per title the 2.25 diesel in my recently acquired station wagon (originally 2.6 petrol) has no engine number stamped in the usual spot. Hasn't been machined off appears to be virgin metal. Any suggestions?

    Probably a late Friday afternoon donk and the guy responsible for punching the numbers was looking
    forward to knocking off for the weekend and was distracted.
    One of the older members here on AULRO had a similar story to tell from his early days whilst working
    at the Fisherman's Bend Holden engine plant.
    Some would just take to it with a set of letter punches to minimise any stuffing around, or use the number
    from a knackered engine block that will never be used again
    Your local Registration Authority (NSW RMS) should be able to sort it for you and issue a number.
    I have an early Holden red six engine here that has a number with the prefix "VP" on it, which means that
    for some reason back in the day, the number was issued by Victoria Police.
    Good luck.

    Cheers, Mick.

    Thanks Mick, it looks like a well looked after 5 bearing unit in a very nicely done conversion. I am wondering if it was a 'crate motor' bought from Leyland. I also have no numbers on the gearbox or transfer case so I guess s3 box and 2a transfer.
