I just scored some 1200 motors, one re-conditioned apparently. The other two I have no history on - they kinda came with the car as part of the deal.

I'll check them in the morning.

Cheers
Craig

Nope... my lead had a reco 1200 but wrong vintage:
5351078. He had a lot of old cases there that he was going to look through for me, though.

engines begining with 'D' were late model 1200s (post 1970) and werent fitted to aussie cars, which by then were 1300/1600cc.
