Found another engine this week.  Not even restamped.

As a complete by-the-by, I've been doing some statistical analysis on the 
relationship between chassis and engine numbers.  Fancy stuff, and I've noticed 
a few oddities.
 
One thing is really interesting (to me, anyway) and that's the chassis numbers 
of the very last of the MB ur-quattros.  Most of the chassis numbers (I have 
208 MBs in the file) are of the form 85ZJA900nnn.  A _very_ few are of the form 
85ZKA020nnn.
 
I wonder if the latter (about 50 - I have direct data on 13) are actually 20V 
floorpans fitted with MB engines?
