<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">The first BJ8 was released in Oct 1963 with engine number 29KF/101 which was essentially the same casting as the BJ7. In November 1963 the fourth iteration of the C-Series casting
was introduced with engine 29K/279. Externally the main difference was that the dipstick was higher up the block, however some blocks also had a small plate covering the mechanical fuel pump opening below the generator that was used in BMC sedans.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> The blocks are essentially the same. I believe the BJ7 block has the dipstick in the same location as all of the previous 6 cylinder engines. The BJ8 blocks have the dipstick in a slightly different location but other than that they are
the same. Also the BJ8 engines don’t use a mechanical tack drive.<u></u><u></u></p>
