 If it is the diesel block it will have the heavy duty crank shaft a valuab=
le part by itself if I remember correctly.

The A90 Atlantic 2.6 litre 4 cylinder is basically the same. The only diffe=
rence=C2=A0is that the A-H has a 2 bolt distributor fitting whereas=C2=A0th=
e A90 has one. This however is a bit of a simplification because there was =
a small amount=C2=A0of overlap with early 100 having blocks with only one f=
ixing bolt and very late A90s having two. To make this more complicated if =
it=C2=A0were BMC Gold seal replacement engines. These could be delivered wi=
th either one bolt or two. It is possible to fit a A-H distributor to a sin=
gle bolt version but the mounting plate has to be from an A90.
All other 2.2 and 2.5 litre blocks have different=C2=A0bores so this can be=
 measured=C2=A0fairly easily. Another point is that later blocks had differ=
ent=C2=A0fittings such as the push rods.
Another possible different=C2=A0version was from a diesel=C2=A0block as fit=
ted to London Taxis etc.

Friends !

=C2=A0

A mate has asked me for help. He has been offered what appears to be a NOS =
100/4 block, nice, but two questions has come up.

1 How do I tell if it is a genuine 100/4 block or one from any other Austin=
/BMC with the same basic engine, and 2 any guidance on price tag?

Any guidance thankfully accepted.
