I pulled a red 202 out of a HG I wrecked out a while ago and on starting to strip it down today I nioticed that it has an unusual engine number.
The number is: NL 1548
I've never come across a red 202 that's number began with an 'N' before, could anyone tell me what this motor originated from?
Wrecking: 1971 HG Kingswood wagon.
Email me for more info. |

N = Nasco AFAIK

That rings a bell Mick. A NASCO replacement block, maybe?
Cheers...Dave

Either that or a replacement block with a police/traffic authority issued number.

It's a NASCO replacement short motor for a HQ 202HC. The NASCO and then later GMP&A numbers started at N1001 in 1971 with the start of HQ production, and counted up from there, regardless of whether they were an NL, ND, NT etc. I used to have NP3675 which |

Cool, well thanks for that guys.
I'm pretty sure that the original 186 that was in that HG was replaced due to an engine bay fire (due to burnt wiring and blistered paint) and the HG was a mid '71 so the build date of the motor kind of fits into the p |

You are probably correct. The job may not have been done by Holden mechanics though. A 202 L short motor would probably have been used if a factory replacement for a 186P was needed. Holden did the same in post HQ release HG utes and vans. They were actua |
