Plate on Block.....

[shortie]

Can anyone help shed some light on this? Whilst under the bonnet of my daily driver (XR4x4) i noticed a plate on the block just behind the water pump housing, its From Ivor Searle, a local to me engineering firm that also does engine builds etc, the ref is - RS59494 and the type is- 3047. Does this mean anything to anyone? The engine is heavily rumoured to be from an ex norfolk constabulary unmarked car, just wondered if this means its been tuned slightly? The car is quicker than a mates XR4x4 so wondered if its not just ECU thats been played with.

 

Thanks in advance for any info.

putting whaty you said together id say its been tuned by the guy you mentioned

Ring Ivor Searle, the number will be their reference number and I suspect they'll have records of it

may have to phone them as they are only 15 mins down the road and see if they would keep any records etc.

he might remember it more if you took the whole car down! especially if its 15miuns away you can have a ncie drive home
