N is the GMP&A replacement engine pre-fix. It doesn’t stand for anything.

Which is derived from NASCO and that is where the "N" comes from. Holden changed it's parts division name from National Automotive Service Company to General Motors Parts & Accessories around 1972 (Mid HQ). Holden continued to use the "N" from NASCO as a prefix on Genuine Replacement Engines, Chassis and Bodies even when known as GM P&A.

I thought chassis were issued blank with no number?
I have no idea if the N stood for Nasco. Seems a long shot but it’s possible.

Most the time the chassis were not stamped but are still issued with a NASCO number.
Bodies were supplied with NASCO stamped on a new compliance plate but were typically swapped for the original.

100% the "N" prefix stands for NASCO. This is a very well known fact.
