According to my sources the 18GB engine went from Fall '64 to 10/67 & from
#101 to #91,200 and should be a 5 main bearing.
Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could
go straight upwards.

Subject: "New" 67 MGB
Wanted to offer thanks to those of you that offered advice, last evening I
purchased a 67 MGB Roadster.
Now I have a question for the group.
I believe the engine to be original to the car, but the numbers don't match.
Should they?
The car number is GHN3L 95234 - Late 1966 - Early 1967 production according
to my "sources"
The engine number is 18GB-U-H 48487 - ??? If a car number this would be a
64-65 type engine? Could this actually be a 3-bearing older engine?
Additionally, I do know that the transmission is one of the later 1967
synchro models and isn't original.
I do have a GT Parts car available (I'll probably go ahead and get it) with
another supposedly "original" engine and transmission, as well as various
other good parts.
Any help in figuring this out will be greatly appreciated!
