Hey guys, as most of you are possibly aware, about a month ago i painted my rocker cover fire orange, now im up to stage 2 of the extensive modification project, after considering the
dificulty that was involved in the painting of the rocker cover, i am asking for your ideas on the following.
I have aquired a very recent A12 engine, im not sure if it is an A12a, it has the alternator at the top left hand side, also with the distributor behind the fuel pump, it doesnt have
anywhere as much rubbish as the A12a in the photos though, so im not sure, anyways, it also has a flat stainless dip stick, with an extension, and looks far more exciting than the
standard one, so i was wondering if it possible to pull out the housing out of the newer engine, its pretty tight, and bung it in my A12 in my coupe, so any thoughts on this would be much
appreciated.
just a bit of a pre-view of stage 3 of my extensive modifications, nana is knitting a set of HT lead booties and covers... ohhhhh yeah.

The engine you described sounds like a later model A12 (7/73) found in the 120y's. As for the oil dipstick, make sure there the exact same length. Otherwise you might over fill
or under fill your engine and cause damage. If it was an A12a im sure it would be stamped on the block.
