I'm wondering if the SBF 289 engine originally used in the Mk2 Tiger was in any way different, special, or identifiable from the SBF 289 engines used in Ford Mustangs, Galaxies, etc. Does anyone know for sure?
Considering their value, as a prospective buyer of an all-original Mk2 buyer, how would I verify beyond reasonable doubt that the engine in a particular Mk2 being offered to me as "all original and unmolested" is indeed the car's original engine? I mean, is there any way I can confirm that the engine in the car was not just transplanted from another type of car? Is there any foolproof way to know if the engine in a Mk2 is really the Tiger's original engine?
Thanks for any input!
