I don't quite understand the problem you have with the mexican motors, the only thing missing is the opening and studs for the oilfiller/dipstick. When I rang Mick Motors awhile back they said that they could fit the studs and machine the hole on a new mexican motor for the type 3(for an extra fee of course).

thats fine for early type 3s but remember that late ones also need mounts for the engine cradle

late multicases have those holes

You mean these on my mexican motor

yep thats the stuff
why bother casting them in but not the oil funnel mount....:duh:
its not hard to blank them off and they make ideal temp sender mounts
