I need to order some odd parts for my '92 Talon TSi AWD manual's engine and the parts catalog designates engine serial # NH0001 as the cutoff for certain parts. I.e. if the # is lower get this version, if it's higher get the other version. I haven't been able to find the SN of my engine. I understand that it's on the front near the lower part of the oil stick projection, which I can't get to without removing some parts. But if anyone knows what year & month NH0001 correspond to, that would suffice.
Also, an aside, I just found out that my Talon, which I've owned for over 28 years, is even rarer than I thought. It's not only turbo, AWD & manual, already fairly uncommon, but it's both 6-bolt crank AND 4-bolt rear axle, so it was made in that very short timeframe where they didn't quite yet switch over to a 7 bolt crank but did switch over to a 4-bolt rear axle. How many of these unicorns could they have made? My car's build date is stamped May 1992. It also has ABS, A/C, power windows and a sunroof, making it even rarer. No deluxe radio or leather seats, though. I didn't want or need either.
And only $20k total purchase price! (Ok, actually $20,250.)
Is there anything else I could check to add to the rarities?
And if I restore it well enough, how much could it fetch, ballpark?
Not that I'm looking to sell anytime soon, so stop salivating.
