Rightio, further research by myself and John Mackie has revealed that this engine is one that he didn't know even existed! According to him, the engine is a Chev 224 cubic inch; the piston is a 3 and 9/16 flat-topped piston, for a standard bore, with the Repco parts number "HX 1632", which Repco says did indeed exist, but is not made anymore.

the engine number N541606P was stamped on by NSW Police when a new engine was fitted with no number.

Geez, this engine gets more and more mysterious! There must be a story that goes along with it.
Mike, the engine just has a dipper setup. This engine is proving difficult to find pistons for as well! |

Your engine sounds like an early 50's splash feed , and if it has a 3. 9/16 bore then it probably would be a 235 cubic inch chev engine. Parts should be available from Automotive Surplus in Melbourne . Have a piston measured at 90 degrees to the gudgeon near the bottom of the skirt with a micrometer or digital vernier. It's highly likely that it will be of std size. Regards Jim S.
