As others have said this engine is more like the A70 2.2 litre than the
A90 2.6 litre as used with small changes on the 100.
It is however a later version and was also used in other commercial
vehicles and the petrol (rarer) London taxi. There was also a version
lent over at 60 degrees in the under floor EA van.
The main difference other than the obvious smaller diameter bore was
such things as more spindly push rods etc. and mountings for alternator
etc. A thinner fan belt and pulleys were fitted.
If one wished to use this engine in a 100 or parts of it the block has
no revcounter drive, the head has a three stud thermostat housing at the
wrong angle. An alternative outlet from a Metro will give the correct
angle if slightly modified but this will look wrong.
If just for spares the crankshaft might be usable if the early type but
later ones did not have the same rear flange but did have a superior
rear oil seal. The camshaft and a few other parts are the same and a
later type oil pump will fit if you also transfer the pipes.
However in summary there is not a lot worth having.

>Is the Austin Gipsy 4 cylinder engine the same as used in the 100 cars?
