[TR] Identifying Engine, Rear and Trans for TR3

[wbeech at flash.net]

If you will read the Judging rules from the VTR website it tries to explain
that the numbers can easily be several hundred units apart and still be
original to the car.  

For example, my TR3B is TCF2549 with engine TCF2391E and Trans TSF3022(TSF
number got a 500 unit head start in the TR3B line, no number for the diff.
My '58 TR3A was TS30766 with engine TS31314E, trans TS30741 and diff
TS31316.

It is typically assumed that because engines were pulled off line for other
reasons, failures, replacements and sales to Morgan Motors for their Plus
Four the engine number will always be higher than the commission number.

Hope this helps,
bill

Subject: [TR] Identifying Engine, Rear and Trans for TR3

I cleaned up my 57 TR3 Smallmouth project enough to identify the Engine,
Trans and Rear End #'s

I'm trying to figure out if the numbers are even generally associated with
the car or if they may be a mix of items from other cars.   If nothing else,
it appears that I have a TR3 transmission with a later TR4 top and shifter.

Does anybody have a list of approximate ranges / years for these items or
will I need to shell out the $ for the BMH certificate?
