Although it does not indicate the country of destination, many of the following 1300 & 1600 engines were installed in breadloafs (Sometimes it pays to keep the old parts catalogs and very outdated fiche films): 1300 Engines: Series AB Case 71-73, Series AR Case 74-75 (Talk about UNDERPOWERED!) 1600 Engines after 1971: Series AF Case 72-73, Series AR Case (Low Comp Pistons) 72-79, Series AS Case 74-79 Note: All were Dual Oil Relief Piston Cases and Dual Port Cylinder Heads. I've seen a lot of rebuilt engines from various suppliers using the "AB" Case from engines brought in from Europe - normally upgraded here to 1600. Jim / BusBoys@aol.com
