For the record, I am pretty sure it is my motor that Mike is working on. I <br>
have a Heritage Certificate which gives the build date as 29 Sept to 6 <br>
October, 1959. Dispatch date was 13 October. That was for the car, and <br>
they may have had motors built up and waiting for installation, but it ties <br>
it down fairly closely.<br>
<br>
Cheers, Mirek<br>

Completely agree. See my comment which was posted before I read Hank's mail.<br>
<br>
It really would be interesting to have dates for the engines, but engine <br>
stamps don't necessarily reflect build order.<br>
