this motor is not the original motor for the car and it
is in a clubby (leyland)

i spotted it for sale around my way and wondered what the engine
size is cause it has a 1275 head on it

and they want to get rid of the car so i am trying to figure out what
it is worth

You would think so but some people do fit big bore heads onto small bore blocks. It means pocketing the block but it does give a easy breathing head.

Yep I put one on a 1098 (bored to 1220cc) years ago.
I'm now doing another (1132cc) for da Moke. 8)

Anybody in Sydney wants a block notched properly (and cheap) I'm set up for it. :wink:
