Does anyone know if there is a way to tell an engines origins from the block casting numbers ?
The number is :
850
12a450
1511k
Obviously an 850 but anyone like to hazard a guess where from / age ??
Cheers

I could be wrong here but not sure the casting numbers tell you what engine.
the engine number near the thermostat is the one to look for.
starting 8 = 850 , 99 = 998 , 10 = 1098, 12 = 1275
