Re: Help identifying my engine (score: 1): Author: "Nolan Penney" <npenney@mde.state.md.us>; Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 06:47:56 -0400; Look on the engine block for the identification letters and numbers. It's on a flat surface, right beside where the head gasket would lie. Think it's the right front corner of the engine. That number; /html/spitfires/2001-05/msg00789.html (8,270 bytes)

The serial number for the block is stamped into the flat surface of the head mating surface of the block that protrudes from the head at the left rear edge of the block.

What would be your recommended starting point? I'm glad you've corrected me for saying the serial n; /html/spitfires/2001-05/msg00801.html (9,453 bytes)

I've got a couple of 1980 federal Spitfires, with the air rail holes in the head. Earlier ones had it mounted into the manifold.

8. Re: Help identifying my engine (score: 1): Author: Terry Thompson <firespiter@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 07:15:33 -0700 (PDT); I was told that the engine in my '76 spitfire was original, and it did not have an air rail or ports in the head (I didn't keep track of the serial number, but it was an FM ID).

Yes on top the block...but left rear not right front. The block ID is not his problem. He knows it's a 1500. He's trying to figure out the head.

To me, the factory set up looks rather makeshift. Also, I guess it's possible that a PO would have installed an air pump fitting, but since PA has; /html/spitfires/2001-05/msg00814.html (8,300 bytes)

The catalogs are wrong. The air rail system was first installed on 1975 U.S. model cars and continued into the 1976 year. I'm not sure a; /html/spitfires/2001-05/msg00841.html (9,369 bytes)
