Judging by the engine numbers, it seems as if Wixom operations were fairly chaotic for the early units.
As a caveat, I have not done analysis on each of the 3,005 units. So the variation range of 898-973 applies in every instance that I know of. I welcome input from other members who may have engines which fall outside of this range.
So the operative question is: was engine 137 or 138 utilized in an another Mark II project? Who replaced 137 or 138? Was it replaced on behalf of Al Cooper? Was it replaced by design? Was there something seriously wrong like a cracked block? Or was it just switched by mistake?
Please Barry, gives us what you think..
Very best regards,
John
