This engine is not a GX because:

- It is an A14 and the A12GX was an A12.

- It hasn't got the twin outlet exhaust manifold and is fitted with the A14T exhaust manifold (regular manifold).

- It does not have the big port GX Head, it is fitted with a big port gasket but you can see the small oval ports if you look carefully. There are also no visible water galleys.

- It is not fitted with GX carburettors, it is fitted with A14T carbs which has a four stud manifold flange and tri bolt pattern on the air cleaner side. The inlet manifold also has the two elongated mounts on the front foremost carburettor mount.

- The carburettors feature an auto choke and emissions gear which came on the A14T

- The distributor is mounted midway which further clarifies the engine having no GX-era relevance.

I understand that you see two hitachi carburettors and decidedly claim the engine as a GX series but that's not how it works.

You will also find that the twin Hitachis that you have fitted are also found on the L-series engines which makes them worth next to nothing without the manifold.
