Marina Van 1098cc Engine

Hi all

Could anyone tell me how to identify the early Marina van 1098 engine as distinct from the late Morris Minor Traveller and LCV engine.

I have a 1098 engine which is painted black, has a manual fuel pump, whereas Moggies were electric, but also has the old type oil filter bowl and paper filter. No alternator is fitted.

Someone suggested that late travellers/ vans had black engines though I thought they were green to end of production?

My engine number is 10V 189e/H 76067 and I am wondering whether this is a very early Marina van or late moggy engine.

Help with identity would be appreciated!

Kevin

I think you can mostly identify them by their lack of forward velocity..

10V 189E is a Morris 1000 saloon engine (1098 cc). They were built in November/December 1969, so v late Moggie engine.

The H indicates high compression ratio when compared to the commercial version, don't get too excited its all of 8.5:1 and 48 bhp!
