Hi,

I had a quick search through these forums and from what I read the engine number should be located on the passenger side near where the head bolts on however I havnt found it - I dont think - I found this number 253h5466 near the alternator but thats all I could find. Is anyone able to post a pic or am I confused and is that the correct number?
Just wanna get the car all legal before I drive it too much

The Engine number might have been machined off in the process of a rebuild... If it has... Not sure what you can do

If its out of a HT-HG then that will be the number

253H5466 is from a HT, and that is the engine number. Sell it to a Monaro owner for hundreds and bet a QR block for scrap value.

lol cheers for that.
I bought the car for $1000 on ebay, sold the 202 for $1100 (sought after prefix on that one)
and recently bought this motor, gearbox, clutch pedal etc conversion for $500
I think i'll keep it in for now as im desparate just to drive the thing (was not so great waiting 2 years for a painter to paint it, but I didnt complain too much as I was saving for my garage to be built)
