Hi Everyone.
I realise that this topic has probably been covered before (more than once I suspect)...but being a relative newbie, I need some help and guidance please. I have purchased an engine that I am told was originally out of one of the Cortina Repco Rally Cars. Will I be able to tell from the engine number or the block casting number the year and origin of the engine? Did Australian Cortinas have the same engine # as their chassis number as the Falcons did? Cheers, Erniech |

Early cortinas had matching engine and Vin, but i think only up until 1970ish.
The block numbers should tell you more about when it was built and what engine it is. do youhave them ?

early cortinas never had matching vin and engine
numbers the vin was on the id plate which should match the number on the radiator support panel from about 1969/70 the id was put on the bulkhead the number on the strut tower on mk2 related to the engine number but never matching with the vin the first of the mk2 had a 1300 or 1500 non crossflow motors still have the id plate off my Feb 67 Gt cortina which was a 1500 motor sadly the car was scrapped |

What model Cortina specifically is the engine from?
Theres a bit of info out there on the 79 TE cars, I think I recall a discussion here http://fordcortina.com.au/newforum/ or maybe here http://rsmotorsport.com.au/forums/ It may take some digging but the info could still be there.
