Re: Numbers on Engine.

[srubano@xxxx]

The numbers on the engine do not match the VIN number. Neither will 
the Chassis number that is welded on the left hand side of the 
chassis in the engine compartment. It's more like a "serial number" 
or "Lot Number" if you want to call it. Just the manufactures way of 
keeping track of what engines went into what cars so if a problem 
arose with a certain lot of engines....they knew what cars they were 
in. Since Delorean did not make the engine and Volvo did, it's 
Volvo's numbering scheme. All car manufactures have engine numbers 
stamped/welded onto the blocks of the engine.
