Yep, my LC still runs a 186 block. Also you mention giant killer, the little 202 is the only engine to beat the V8s at Bathurst that didn't rely on a big boosting turbo.

The GroupA BMW's were very competitive too, and a normally aspirated V12 won in 1985!
I just checked, in 1985 six normally aspirated non-V8 cars finished in front of the first V8 (DJ's Mustang). In order:
V12
I6
V12
I6
I6
I6
V8
V6
I4T (the first turbo, a Starion).

Hi,
I have a CK and Im prepared to share photos of the cast date, engine number and the "other (mould)" number.
Im only interested in this being used to further the interest of the threads stated intention.
So here is a photo of the cast date, let me know if you want to see the rest.
Cheers Brian

Hi,
Not sure why the cast date photo rotated but I read it as F231. From my reading of this thread this is what you would expect.
I will take the other photos tomorrow, but for what it's worth the 5 in the engine number has the "banana" .
Cheers Brian

you have now opened the flood gates, well done.
Like button for you.

Hi Keith & Dave,
Im not sure what the significance of the 5 is, but Im sure someone will weigh in.
Hopefully we get to see some more.
Keith WRT to posting photos I used the More Reply Options button and then Attach File. Beyond that you have exceeded my level of usefulness. He He
Cheers Brian

l'm thinking Rat that yet another genuine xu1 does not have a 3 on it. I'm also thinking that it is morally wrong to continue to try and cast doubt on other peoples genuine fantastic xu1 motors because they do not support your particular and skewed ideaology that all xu1s should have 3 stamped on them. Countless examples have been presented showing 2, 5, 6 and yes even 3! So it is now time for you, Crabba and Fly to say "sorry guys we was wrong". Yes it is that easy and then we all (this happy xu1 family) can resume our harmonious relationships with each other. Cheers

Keith I don't recall saying anything about LC XU1's and their blocks, but if i was buying a JP block and ( i know the cast dates) i would ONLY buy one with a 3.
cheers

You can believe whatever you want to believe.
Yes it is true there are a lot of JP blocks cast using core pattern #3, however, that does not unequivocally mean that all JP blocks were cast using pattern #3.
The evidence shows there are genuine JP blocks out there with pattern numbers other than #3.
So please stop ramming your misguided biased beliefs down everyone's throats.

Pray tell why any genuine original 150 block with a 6 or 2 wouldn't count.
