HELP!!!!!!!

Postby dilligaf769 » Sat Mar 23, 2013 4:05 am

Hi,
I've just recently brought myself a 1965 Pickup and I was wondering if anyone could identify what motor is in it? The numbers in the block look like this:
A
8F12
3
2724E
6015B
Any info at all would be helpful.
Thx

Is it petrol or diesel? If it's petrol, is it a V4? Is it from Malta? Post some photos of it, that'll help :)

Got rego papers saying it's a 1965 but need to no what motor is in it as it comes out to be rebuilt in the next couple days. The only rust is surface rust and in the next couple months it's being sanded for a bare metal respray. Doing the wiring in it currently as the previous owner had no idea on wiring and it is all real effed up (by the looks of it they've used a modified EA harness :? )
