engine and drivetrain 2000 cs info search

[stone02]

Hi,

   i picked up a 1967 2000 cs about a year ago and finally

got around to working on it starting today. the body is

good and the car has had other work. so, the motor is not

original, rather it is a tii set up. i looked at the block number,

which is 2581634 and it comes out as an early RHD (us)

car. well that does not seem right. so i ask, is this a vin

number for a NK tii car which was transplanted into this 

body, or did someone go to the trouble of converting the

block properly to have the oil return in the correct

 drain boss. i have a little time to mess with the car while

the brake system parts get rebuilt so if someone has a vin

chart like the McCartney book for 2002's that may help

thanks.

It is not uncommon to drill an engine block for a Tii oil return fitting when replacing a Tii block with a normal one..
