  Jack,

  I suspect that somehow there were some PAs that were retrofitted with a
  PB spec motor and had their original engine numbers stamped on the new
  factory-installed PB motor. That's the only explanation I can come up
  with. We know there were a lot of enquiries about upgrading, that's well
  documented. But I suspect that a few of the well-heeled good customers
  got their wish. Then the factory simply restamped the original engine
  number to make every thing match.

  Regards,
  Lew

  Lew/MMM list,

  I have a similar situation; my 1934, 4 seater, PA#1875 has it's original
  engine 2186AP, a double breather block. Bores are 60.5mm (original?)
  pistons were stamped 0.020. Some early (1949) correspondence (all I have
  is the factory's response) with the factory by the then owner in USA
  seems to be asking if there was a different "motor" for America having
  larger bore and 1 1/8" carbs. Factory was puzzled at how the block could
  be bored out that much and recommended going back to 1" carbs to cure
  his "spitting back" problem. Also suggested checking the valve timing.

  I know this does not answer your question, but I was glad to hear
  someone else has similar questions. I'm wondering if there was a
  possibility that some cars got special (undocumented) treatment by the
  factory?

  Jack
