Tom

                I don=E2=80=99t have all the records but here is what I =
have found.

Mk 1 production thru B382002706 =3D 6468

=20

The highest B19KC engine # I have listed is 7577;  7577 =E2=80=93 999 =
=3D 6578, the number of 260 engines =E2=80=93 there could be more I =
don=E2=80=99t know

=20

That give us 110 more 260 engines than production Tigers.  There are of =
course variables involved here that are unaccounted for with the =
information I have available to me.

=20

All of the engines that Rootes ordered  from Ford were most likely in =
house and stock piled by May 1966.  Therefore the 289 engines were =
available for install long before the end of the Mk I production and =
nearly 1 year before Mk II production started.  Those facts led us to =
wonder if production variations happened.

=20

Let=E2=80=99s keep an open mind about all this and let the evidence =
speak for itself.

Not sure if this post goes through... (to the list) , the past few =
haven=E2=80=99t.

It would seem logical that there were a number of Mk 1A=E2=80=99s that =
were the pre-production prototypes for the Mk 2.  And, it would seem =
logical that most eventually found their way into some form of a general =
sale =E2=80=93 even if only to Rootes employees.  Thus, the question is, =
would they have been sold as Mk 1A=E2=80=99s or completely updated to Mk =
2=E2=80=99s? I=E2=80=99m doubting the latter based on the alterations =
needed to hide the beltline trim holes to convert Mk 1A to a Mk 2 (as =
one point among potentially many). If not updated visually (but were =
mechanically) it would seem at least plausible that a few Mk =
1A=E2=80=99s were equipped with 289=E2=80=99s - even if they were not =
sold through the typical dealership method.   The potential Mk 1A/289 =
would likely not have been at the end of the Mk 1A run, but at whatever =
point the Mk 2 prototype development was started.

=20

Another potential scenario would regard Rootes not having enough =
260=E2=80=99s at the end of the Mk 1A run.  Thus using available =
289=E2=80=99s that were either bought for Mk 2 prototypes, or waiting in =
the wings for the Mk 2. It would be interesting to know the number of =
260=E2=80=99s ordered/shipped and the number of Mk 1, 1A=E2=80=99s =
produced. Also a factor would be the 260=E2=80=99s set aside for =
development/testing and warranty replacement (if any).

I=E2=80=99m not trying to create an Urban Legend nor support the Mk 1A =
289. I=E2=80=99m only postulating the potential for it to have happened =
as I obviously have produced no evidence.  With that in mind I=E2=80=99d =

                I don=E2=80=99t believe any Mk 1A originally came with a =
289 engine.  I see no evidence of anything but the B19KC 260 engine =
