As the title really, I have a V6 Phase one at the moment undergoing some restoration and modifications.
I managed to aquire a very cheap V6 engine which is mint and only been run up on a bench.
Now my question is i know the engine that is currently in the car is a standard 230 one as supplied by TWR.(needs clutch and a few minor items)
But the new engine doesn't have any history,as it was never fitted in a car and this was, we think a TWR development engine.
The timing cover has two number plates on it, One is stuck on and is rectangular and has L7X 760 on,and underneath there is another plate star washered on and is an e-longated diamond shape with L7XG 720 engraved on it.
Does this mean that the stuck on plate is the standard Renault Engine type and Number.
And the e-longated one is the TWR revised plate, if so what engine am i likley to have?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Dave
