Shepra Van Engine Numbers
Hi All,
I have the opertunity of purchasing a V8 engine that was lifted from a Shepra Van. The problem I am having is finding a listing of engine numbers
that include the Vans so I can identify the exact age of the engine for SVA emissions testing.
Does anyone know where I can find this information?
I know that the Shepra van was produced with the V8 between 1987 - 1994 and that the engine number range is 25-26 G.
If I cannot determine the exact age of the engine is it work buying?
Thanks for the advice.
Daniel

25/26 g = 1986
25/26 g-b = 1987-94
so the auto data cd says
hope that helps
cheers paul

are they not low compression ones in the vans??
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Hi All,
Just a quick update, in the end I didnt buy the engine as I couldn't get proof of the exact year of manufacture.
I have purchased a old Range Rover instead!!!
Thanks.

The Sherpa V8 is a Low Compression one.
Have a GOOD READ UP on the FAQ pages on RPI's site - VERY Useful info.
www.v8engines.com - Not the cheapest, but Chris Crane really knows his onions
LOTS of useful info.
V8's are NOT cheap to recondition.
Real Steel and V8.tuner.co.uk are good for prices. Paul at V8 Tuner was good for most things pricewise, and quick at getting them in the post.
If you are stripping a Range Rover just for the engine.
Advertise the rolling chassis in a Land Rover mag, it will get a decent price.
or break, and sell the bits, and get even more money.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
