From memory, AD is a 1600cc Superbug engine (early-mid '70s) , and CJ is a 2000cc Transporter engine (1976-on). I'm at work and my reference books are at home - can't be more specific, sorry.

Hi Kev, not sure, I am guessing a 1300 twin port but I could be wrong. Sorry don't have time to look it up when I'm at work!

Hiya Camo,

The "AB" series of engines was in production from the 1971 through the 1973 model years. These engines were 1300 dual ports in their original configuration developing 52 hp SAE/44 hp DIN. These engines were replaced by the "AR" series in 1974.
