paulmanta Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Id say it was a rebuild of some kind. Later style fan water pump and dizzy, it does have earlier rocker cover though as if its been in a carburettor car, that breather is the "poke it in" type used when you have a big round air cleaner. Engine numbers look restamped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonmonkey Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 The flywheel looks to have been machined to take a ford AP competition pressure plate 6 bolt 3 dowel. No oil pressure gauge though, only a switch It’s not from a cavalier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 no definately not cavalier. or carlton. unusual sump with strange dipstick tube, .flat flywheel and more substantial fan blades too .very strange. never seen or heard of a GVB designation before ?

cam.in.head Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 thats the listing i saw and i must admit im quite disgusted with myself for not knowing what this engine is from.! it may very well be a std 2.0 internally but the external bits have got me stumped.

Was any Bedford’s (other than the trucks) used by the Army etc? It does seem odd engine code as you say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
