There are only a few ways to tell the difference between an Original =
Tiger Engine and a Standard Ford Engine.

Unfortunately, the Ford ID tags that identify a Tiger engine can be =
removed and tossed.

There have been around 45 requests for the ONLINE Tiger Engine Survey =
with 13 responses.

The more responses the better the data base becomes.

Not long ago a Tiger owner contacted me about a spare 260 engine he was =
about to sell.   Turns out that spare engine was most likely the =
original Tiger Engine.   This is one of the purposes of the Tiger Engine =
Study.

is an Original Tiger Engine.
