A12 Engine

Post by A_FC3S »

Hey guys, Need to know from which model this engine come from? If it's from 1200 coupe GX5 (KB110) should it be with a 5speed gearbox? But this is only 4 speed. And can somebody tell what is the spec of this engine. Like the HP, is it a better engine from the A12 single carb.

A12 twin carb.

It might have a GX head though. Unfortunately you wont be able to tell without removing the rocker cover.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

As far as I know B110s A12 motors never came with mid mounted distributors.

Is there a factory option close ratio 4spd????
