Engine Number Identification We have included a reference chart of Rover V8 engine numbers from onwards, which will help you to identify the engine fitted to your vehicle. The engine number of most Rover V8s is stamped on the left hand side of the block deck, adjacent to the dipstick tube, although some very early engines had the number stamped on the bellhousing flange at the rear of the block.

The chart also contains a brief description of features, such as compression ratio and gearbox type and also the approximate year of production.

Therefore, if your engine has been changed at some time, it should still be possible to correctly identify it. To ensure you receive the correct parts, please have your engine number ready before ordering. Rover V8 Engine Numbers Factory 3. Rover carb 8. Rover carb CKD 8. Rover carb Australia 8.
