Hi guys and Happy New Year!

Could you please advise me the approximate date of built of this engine number 110F0000*1205167?

Many thanks!

If the engine is in a car, the VIN (chassis number) is easier to date.

If you lift the bonnet and, facing the rear of the car, look at the right hand side of the firewall you will see it stamped there.

By comparison though, my engine number was 110F0000*2091315 and I dated my car to around 1969/70 or thereabouts.
Given that they made about 300,000 a year from 1965 (inclusive) yours would be 2 or 3 years older.

Thank yo so much Chris,

The idea here is to date the engine, not the car. My caris defiitely a '66 so I am trying to see if the engine I have is possibly the original to the car. I am convinced that it is but I would appreciate the opinion of the members as well. I believe that the engine number is correct for a '66 and you calculation/assumption is a reasonable one.

Many thanks!
