Is there any where I can check what engine I have?
The RRC I am rebuilding was registered as a 3.5 V8 EFI but it is fitted with a carb engine. The engine number is different the the log book so the previous owner has not got it amended.
My question is, is the new engine a 3.5 or have they put something else in, and how can I check. I can't see anything on the engine other than the serial number.

Got that thank you. Mine is 27G so a 3.5. Just wanted to check before I send the log book off to get it changed. Thanks again.
