Rob,
All I know is what I have read on the List, and that is there was only a
Rootes meaning to those numbers, but perhaps they had to do with the
Rootes special order number serialization from the Ford Industrial
Engines Division supplier. Certainly does not appear to be related to
those Ford casting, manufacturing, and serialization numbers of normal
Ford parts origin.
I'm going to forward it to the list, to see if there is more
intelligence out there.
