It's definitely a 1275 head, can't tell what the block is.
Might be one of those rare 1275s with a 998 engine number...

I just zoomed the pic in BIG, it's definitely a 1275 block. You can see the 3/8" step to the lug below the engine number pad.

I've asked for more information, and whether I can go and inspect. Worth a drive to Newie to have a look and I'm on leave at the moment.

What would a 1275 +.060" end up as?

1328.7cc by my spreadsheet based on standard 2.780" bore x 3.200" stroke (1273.2cc).
