Engine numbers

[GCJ]

Hi all,

 

I am hoping there is someone on here who could assist in a problem.

 

I have a 1974 Jaguar series 3 e-type roadster LHD that was imported from USA. The car came with a jaguar V12 engine, however it is not original to the car and we believe that it is from another model jaguar of that time as it is carbs and not fuel injected. Is there someone on here who could tell me what car this engine is from with just the engine number. The number on the engine is '7P 6459 SA'.

I am trying to get a new starter motor for it and any I have sourced for a v12 e-type seem to only work for a small time and then fail. Can we have some assistance at all from anyone please it would much appreciated.

 

Regards 

 

Gary.
