Any thoughts or am I just goofy?

Do you have/know the engine serial number for either of those green engines? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 209 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 209 | The one in my 51 is 004163F54Z. The 4100 is gone, but if you want I can get the no., I sold it to a friend.

F = Flint. MI assembly plant
54 = 1954
Z = standard car 235 (similar to truck 235 - mechanical lifters)
A car 235 would have been painted blue, I think. | | |
