Sorry to post a question that has been asked a million times, but I have
just come into possession of an abandonned '73 Leyland Mini panel van with
a motor in the back (not rear engined, just a motor sitting on a bit of
cardboard in the back) and an empty engine bay. The engine number is
99H791P/133340. Questions: Is this likely to be the original engine, and
would this be a 998cc with hardened valve seats? What does the "P" stand
for? Is there a site where the engine number codes are explained?
Thanks in advance

While someone else is asking about engine numbers has anyone ever seen
this engine number before?

BHM1667E 17439B

Ive found mention of engine numbers starting with BHM, but never with
the 1667 bit after.

Any ideas?

cheers
