I can't remember the details because it was so long ago I enquired, best to
mail Rob Thomas. In Australia the Marina engines are ex New Zealand and
batches come up now and then, I don't think they had the Ital. I don't
think the 1100 crank will fit a 1275 block because the bore spacing is
different.

what
