We regards the engine numbers, I thought it meant reconditioned.
On the

"These engines often had its original number oblitterated by overstamping, usually with the letter 'X' and a special plate rivetted to the block on the vertical face of the boss which carried the original engine number."
Is there any other plate on yours?
I have been on contact with Fiorano with regards purchasing a kit, not sure at present, what to do with the Miglia and the Vitesse chassis, do I sell and get one of these or attempt the Miglia (anyone interested PM me).
