Bill, a number should be visible between the fan belt at the base of the generator stand, on the timing cover/third piece. Should have a P-star-XXXXXX-star (usually) there may be a "KD" prefix, maybe nothing if it's replacement case, timing cover..or ground off.....'Back in the day' the most common reason for a 356 to disappear was so the motor could go into a..........jus' sayin'
Once or if found, the number can be posted and someone can check against easily available data to see what that engine's origin was prior to the chrome. |
