Engine block mystery

[rgh0]

Hi Roger
All my other 120E blocks have the oval ford logo not the rectangular one ! I just happened to photograph a later 120E block.


Here is a listing of engine introduction dates the 116E block was used for the earliest twin cam in late 62 and early 63 1963 but changed to the 120E block when it became available - nominally in October 63 according to the listing below.

refer to http://freespace.virgin.net/tommy.sandham/databook.htm where I sourced this listing. Not all these engine type numbers actually had their own block numbers

Anglia Super (1200cc engine) 123E - Introduced October 1962

Anglia Van (997cc engine) 307E - Introduced June 1961
