<< What is meant by a 70X or 79X engine ? >>

The "70X" is the "Works" (Factory) eight-port head racing 1147, with either 
cast iron or alloy head (and that nice little pair of Weber carbs and other 
modifications). Similarly, "79X" is the 1296cc version. The 70 and 79 refer to 
the displacement of the engines in cubic inches.
