Hi all - first post after a lot of lurking.

I need to find out the original engine number of my car. How do I find out? I would love to start a search for the original.

I have had helpful suggestions of contacting PCA or one of the dealerships. PCA will not give out engine numbers for any reason because of security issues, and will only confirm if the number you give them matches their records. I have no problem with this, but even if you give proof of ownership of the car, they can't help. Dealerships can only access records back to 1980.

Is there any other way to track down this information? Or is there someone I have to bribe?

Cheers, Nathan
