Mike:
It is a Triumph Spitfire engine number. A 1500 engine, which came out in
1973 and went to 1980/81. The 51719 suggests a 1976 vintage to me. The
head may not be original.

I took a look at the engine number: FP51719UE It's located under the
No. 4 cylinder on the
driver's side facing towards the bonnet. There is no air pump running
off the belts, there is no
air system mounted on the topside of the head, or running out of the
exhaust manifold. Can this
engine be older than a '68 (which is the year I believe all that
emissions stuff was added).<
