I don't think Y Blocks on this side of the pond have serial #'s, at least I've never seen one.

Ray , Make up a # . ?? . I did it up hear in QLD .Just add 4 or 5 numbers behind the prefix near the dizzy . All I did was have it engraved on a piece of alloy ,glue it to the block ,add a little paint & a smear of grease .Most of the people who check the engine numbers at DOT wouldn't know if it was V8 or a 4 cylinder motor ??? I did the same with my "A" Model chassis .

Regards Lon
