I just pulled the motor out of my 67 Fasty.
Couple odd things about it but most of all I'm trying to figure out the engine code.
There this tag riveted on.
5560 T- 473804
What do I have here? Thanks!

What you have is an engine rebuilt by VEGE at one time. http://www.vegeuk.com/uk_en/
Do a site search for VEGE/ATK, there are pages of threads on it.

My type 34 has this same thing
was debating on popping it off to see if the case number is in range of the original. It seems to be well built with quality heads and zero leaks and runs like a champ.

Ah thanks Rick!
I just searched the Type 3 forum. Shoulda looked at the whole site.
This engine is in great shape too. I just want to build it bigger.  |
