the engine serial # is 093518, it is a "completely" rebuilt engine so I am guessing it is not the original....and I figured it had to be a late 3/72 or early 4/72....

again thanks for the responses

Hi Dan:

Most likely is the original engine. Engine numbers for 03/72 seem to run from L24-90xxx though early L24-95xxx. Chassis numbers from HLS30 71xxx into HLS30 75xxx

O4/72 HLS30-75xxx though HLS30-80xxx and engines L24-95xxx into L24-80xxx.

FWIW,

Carl

thanks for the onfo Carl...once again this site has come through for me...

thanks guys.....more questions in the future as the restore continues I'm sure

Dan,

If you are lucky the original jack and tool kit are still present with the car. If you are very lucky there will be a piece of paper about the size of an index card in the tool bag. Hopefully the date stamp in the Showa format is still visible and that will give you the exact date of one of the last items to be placed in the car before being shipped from Japan. In my 240Z's case the date was 15 August 1970 or 45.8.15 with 45 being the year in the Showa period. The info. is here:
