Ive got two engines , one from a 1972 car and one from a 1973 car. Engine numbers A72040046 and A72032231 respectively. Please can someone explain these as they don't make sense to me. The A72040046 looks to be a newer engine but comes from a later car. (may have been replaced) however the oil pump housing on A72040046 is different from A72032231 and the two are not interchangeable. what is also a puzzle is that A72032231 which apears to be the earlier engine has the oil pump housing that is the same as later Lotus engines as I found out when using a later Lotus short engine for the rebuild.
Hope this makes sense
thanks R
