G'day All
I Know of a fella that has a JP motor with the number JP000136.
I believe that this motor was only used for racing and did not come out of a road built car.
Is there anyway or anyone who could verify this and also how much would this motor be worth?
As far as I know, it would basically only need rings/bearings/valve grind to have it going again. It is even possible that it may need less to get operational.
Regards ................................. Barry

Barry the lowest JP engine number is
JP103???
The engine sequence numbering started in May 1971 with the HQ Holden. So there is a HQ sitting around somewhere with engine number QL1001 this was the very first of the running numbered engines. All engines from this period were stamped in running number order regardless of what engine it was and what car/model it was going in.
So if your friend has JP000136, the first problem that I see is that by the time that the JP stamping came about they were way beyond that number. And seeing that the very first car in May 71 was beyond that number as well, alarm bells are ringing for me already.
All JP blocks were assigned to a car, if it wasnt assigned to a vehicle it was given a NP number and it sat on the floor somewhere until it was needed.
To me its worth what any non JP block is selling for, as this is not an XU1 number. And its not from a race car, if a team ordered a spare/new block they would have received an NP one.

Thanks Millissa
This has me
so I might just get my mate to photo the engine number.
This is what happens when I let him remove the gear-stick out of my car
I suppose it was a bit hard to unscrew it when someone had welded the damn thing in there.

Apparently the gear-sticks breaking off at the the thread base was a reasonably common occurrence.
Bit hard to take a gearbox out when the gearstick cannot be removed
Just another of those little hiccups when doing a gearbox replacement. Opel of course.
