I have a question for someone who has a better grasp of MG production data
then I do. Over the weekend I went out and picked up what I was led to
believe was the original engine for my 1970 MGB. I bought the car three
years ago without the drive train and replaced it with a 72 engine and
transmission. I though it would be great if I could get my hands on the
original, but now I have my doubts that thats what I got. After scraping off
a dozen years of dirt and rust I found the following engine number, 18G RWE
H25916. It doesn't match up with MG's production numbers for the 70 model
year. The guy swears it the engine he pulled out of my car and I'm sure he
did. The blocks in good shape and I intend to go ahead and rebuild it this
winter, but I'd really like to know what I'm starting with. Any help would
be appreciated.
