Hi, Scott -

=20

The table might give an inaccurate impression, depending how one =
interprets it.

=20

For BJ8s:  the first chassis number (25315) was not the first car Phase =
1 car built, and no effort was made to make the engine serial numbers =
increase in sequence with the chassis numbers. =20

Chassis 25315 got engine 29K/RU/H571.

The lowest engine serial number (29K/RU/H101) went into chassis 25331.

The last Phase 1 car (25704) got engine 29K/RU/H1174

=20

The first Phase 2 car (25705) got engine 29K/U/H1713 (no overdrive)

The last BJ8 built (43026) got engine 29K/RU/H17504.

The highest engine serial number (29K/RU/H17631) did go into the last =
BJ8 built on the production line (43000).

=20

When dealing with BMC and serial numbers, it seems nothing was nice and =
neat.

I=E2=80=99m perplexed by the references to the =E2=80=9CU=E2=80=9D in =
the engine number in the documents which Scott attached.  The first =
attachment states that 3000 Mk I commenced with engine number 29D-U-H101 =
and ended with 29D-U-H26212.  The second document states that =
=E2=80=9CU=E2=80=9D indicated a center shift gear box.  We know that all =
Mark I Healeys were side shift; the center shift was not introduced =
until near the end of the Mark II BN7/BT7 run in November, 1961 at =
engine number 29E/2246, chassis number BT7/15881 and BN7/16039, per =
Clausager=E2=80=99s book.  Hence, the 2 documents conflict and my =
confusion over the statement that the =E2=80=9CU=E2=80=9D refers to a =
center shift box. =20

=20

Clausager states: =E2=80=9CHowever, the engine prefix was later changed, =
possibly coinciding with the introduction of the six-port engine in =
1957.  These engines had the prefix 26D, followed by U on non-overdrive =
cars, and R (or RU) on overdrive cars, finishing with the letter H for =
High compression=E2=80=9D (Original Austin Healey, Clausager, 1990, pg. =
87).

=20

Case in point, my BN7, produced 26-28 September, 1960 is chassis number =
12656 and engine number 29D-U-H/22855 (my car was originally a non-OD =
car), verified by the BMIHT certificate.  The gearbox is a correct side =
shift unit.  This is in agreement with Clausager=E2=80=99s description.

=20

So, the assertion that U denotes center shift is quite confusing.  =
Anyone else able to weigh in?

The "U" code applies to all of BMC cars, not just Healeys.  Some of =
those cars have a gearshift on the steering column, some on the floor.  =
"Center shift" as applied to the "U" means a floor shift, not the =
position of the gear lever on the floor.

In my notes I have this:-

=E2=80=9CR=E2=80=A6Overdrive(Laycock)

U=E2=80=A6Gearchange found on centre of floor ie not on column. =
Basically, means floor change.=E2=80=9D

I asked very much the same question as you about 3 months ago. My =
=E2=80=9Cnotes=E2=80=9D derive from Steve=E2=80=99s answer at that time. =

I guess BMC was trying to impose some sort of system(?) into their =
apparently haphazard production. And I suppose it=E2=80=99s a way of =
differentiating from the various cars that were shambling down the =
production line. Westminsters, for example, big saloons with +/- same =
engines as 3000s=E2=80=A6.they might have had column shift. I =
don=E2=80=99t recall. Nice cars and the Vanden Plas versions sell well =
today. To digress even further, Westminsters were ideal for =
=E2=80=9CBanger Racing=E2=80=9D=E2=80=A6.big, heavy and practically =
indestructible. Hence there are so few Westminster automatics around to =

Happy Christmas,

2246, chassis number BT7/15881 and BN7/16039, per Clausager=E2=80=99s book. &=

d, possibly coinciding with the introduction of the six-port engine in 1957.=
&nbsp; These engines had the prefix 26D, followed by U on non-overdrive cars=
, and R (or RU) on overdrive cars, finishing with the letter H for High comp=
