    Sometime it pays to read the home page of the website.

    Engine number and its date code (looks like 28D3) or something like that. Last digit will be a 0,1,2,3,4 or 9 for a blue engine.

    Actually 13th May 1970, so it is from a HT, about 99% to be out of a Brougham.

    The reverse code points to HT but Ray said it was a Blue motor so I changed the year.

    Could be May 13th 1990?? Did they change the casting dates after blue motors?
