"New" MGA 1600
I have just acquired about 800 car parts which hopefully will turn into a 1960 MGA in the next year or two. It came with two engines, the original 1600 (I was told) and a 1500. Both of the engines have heads that have "15" cast into the rear-top of the head. I also have a 3-main 1800 engine for my '64 MGB which has an "18" cast in the back. This leads me to believe that the 1600 motor should have a "16" and not a "15" on the head, can anyone verify?
I don't know which engine that I am going to use (16 or 18) but I am curious.
