I just discovered a new characteristic of my car, the engine numbers

number R-40000? If so what is my engine from? Is it from an earlier
roadster, or something else? I am totally stumped.

Matt,
67.5's started with E #R-40000.
Those engine numbers aren't that far apart so I would guess it is another
early 67, or maybe a 66. Is the cylinder head iron or aluminum? I believe
they started with the aluminum in 67.5. Is that right, anyone? Of course that
could have been changed also...
