As I previously stated, we know your gearbox was made the 18th week of 1965.
On the engine I would not be in the least bit surprised if it is not original to the car. 20 years ago when noone thought these cars were going to be collectible, keeping things numbers matching wasn't really considered important. As recently as 2005 when I was working for Carquip here in Boulder, we frequently would take in a core engine and sell them a rebuilt one that we already had on a shelf in the warehouse on an exchange basis. We were even doing it with 356s. Little did any of us know that the day would come where numbers matching would make a car 20-25% more valuable.
