 I just happened on an A series motor which I cannot identify by block I.D.
A little help would be appreciated. The block tag says"XSP 18669" it has a
2.67" bore, with a 3.00" stroke. It has an 11-bolt, 1-stud pattern, the head
has no heater take-off. It has 2 lock-wired caps on the back of the manifold
side of the block, and, of all things an 8-bolt flywheel attachment. Does
anyone know any possibilities? I have an old Clymers manual which says that
Huffaker bored out 948s to 2.67"to make a 1096cc Formula Junior motor, It's
set up for inline application,and has valve reliefs cut into the block. The
head is a 12A128 casting, which should be a Cooper 'S' MKI head. Any help
would be appreciated
