Hey everyone,

I'm starting to get deeper into my 84' 240gle wagon, and currently I'm trying to understand exactly which engine is installed in my car.
It has ±380000Km on it so I guess the engine has been replaced over the years.

Some information:
1. The VIN says B23A.
2. The timing cover says 1289252 B230F NR:11572
3. Near the distributor, on the engine cylinder head I can see the numbers 5891.
4. There is the letter "K" on the left side of the engine block.
5. On the right side of the cylinder head there is the number 1000530

So is it a B23A? B230F? a combination of everything? a mixture of parts?
