Early motor... Whats cast on the left side of the head? 121 or E12? What year is cast on the left side of the block?
It's a 121 head, and looks like it's a 1970 (70 on the block). Now I gotta keep my eye out for a free 2002 and I'll be set!
This is not intended to be a shameless plug but I've got an uncompleted 2002 project car for sale. (sorry not free) 1974 (I think no title) All new front end, ADDCO big sway bars, domed pistons, head shaved .121 over the max cut, custom made chain tensioner, 121 head (best one small combustion chamber), E12 valves(turbo sized big valves) schrick double valve springs, PACO reground base circle cam (7800 series), header, duel 40mm weber side drafts, mallory mechanical advance dist. Modified 4 sp. tapered roller bearing conversion in place of the weak ball bearings on the lay shaft. This car sounds like a small block chevy on steroids. A real Frankenstein motor.
These motors can really take the abuse. Forged steel cranks, special grey alloy blocks pre blueprinted rotating assembly. Ya I'm a BMW nut...
