Great videos. Very informative and fun to watch. Thanks. Really shows how  
far manufacturing has come.

I came  across this a couple of weeks ago and thought it was very  
interesting.

The car shown is a series 1 Morris Isis (1955-56) and the  gallery head 
being
fitted doesn't have a vacuum brake connection feature so  guessing the film 
was
shot in 1955-56. This engine is the same as used in  the 56 BN4 except the 
dish
pistons are changed for high compression flat  tops, twin SU carbs replace 
the
single and a second fan blade is  added.

Interesting to see the running in process is the same as other  
manufacturers
of the era- round to the redline on a dyno then give it to  the customer to
drive gently for 500 miles. Also interesting is the  completed engines with
their carburettors, manifolds and red fans installed  have not all received 
the
final Morris Green  paint.
