And for the Brits, Europeans and rare imports (cars that is) after that came
the 1.3 Marina in-line block which has the oil filter upside down and at the
rear of the block and which had different crank, rods and flywheel. Next and
last came the 1.3 A+ inline block which came in the Ital and is similiar to the
Marina block but is ribbed and has A+ distributor crank and rods but flywheel
same as for Marina. I have one in my garage right now with Metro Turbo
hooked up on it.
