1971-1973 A12?
Or 1974-up A12?

The dipstick is different between original and re-designed block.

The original type distributor need a modification to bolt onto the new type block.

Waterpump will exchange, but use the fan, pulleys and pump as a package. Some newer engine are different.

Just thinking, the dipstick. Will it not give incorrect level because there is a difference between the A12 and A14 or are they the same just different cc's.

Ithink the disttributor bottom plate needs to be modified, otherwhise It should all fit.

Hi all
OK, I phoned around and can get A14 bottom end cheaper than I thought with the following:
A14 block.
A14 crank, conrods and pistons.
Oil Pump.
No Distributor.
No waterpump.
probably no dip stick.

Can I use the following:
My GX distributor. (It is going to get GX cylinder head and reground cam)
A12 waterpump.
A12 dipstick.

My A12 has the altenator sitting under the water inlet pipe. It has been rebuild recently. Will this altenator bolt up to the place where the A14 altenator sits, meaning, up next to dizzy.
