Old enough to know better
1300s generally will start with 128 and then 138.1. 1500s start with 138.2. Then there are the late engines.Hello all, I've got basically everything striped down for the heating/cooling system. I'll be placing an order soon to start getting parts. I had a local shop pressure test and clean the radiator, so it looks great.
I had a quick question about the block and head markings. Here is the block:
For the head I only found a few numbers on the spark plug side.
I was told it was a 1300 head with opened up valves and a stroked 1500 block. Do these markings match a 1300 head and 1500 block?
The engine block casting number being in the M202 range could be one of several displacements: Later 8 valve motors - 1301/1498/1581 - M202 series accomodating a 14 bolt head.
You wouldn’t be able to use a early 1300cc head with this block. Depending on what the block really is you could have the basis for a large displacement engine or just a paltry 1300
I haven’t found the exact code from your engine. Yet.
You will need to find the casting number for the head. You are just showing the firing order for the pistons
The head will have the casting number at the left end of the head on a boss with the number vertical (same side of the head as the spark plugs, it should start with 128, 138 or a later head code for a 14 bolt head.
