It would appear to be from a 1959 Austin Westminster A99 or a 1961 A110 fro=
m the 29A in the engine number. Would also been attached to a central gear =
change gearbox with overdrive.

I saw this on eBay:-

Quite cheap at the moment.=20
The vendor was a bit sparse with information. Initially there was just one =
photo; the ones with the numbers came after a query from me. Likewise, he d=
idn=E2=80=99t/doesn=E2=80=99t say if the engine turns. It does, he says.
Now, the =E2=80=9C29=E2=80=9D makes it a 3litre and the =E2=80=9CH=E2=80=9D=
 makes it a high compression. But what else? What am I missing? What can on=
e tell from looking at the photos?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Simon
