Both cars appear in the Service/Warranty records with the engines as swapped by the dealer(s). Ute or van appears with a QU number, LS with a QR. Due to the plant numbering for 350 engines at Dandenong and Pagewood it is known what 350 engine was in each 350 powered car when it left the assembly plant even if numbers aren't in the Service/Warranty records. When the QU number turns up in another car it is easy to see what happened. GMH would have even warranted the driveline in both cars.
