[Spridgets] Red Engine - Where from ???

[Weslake1330 at aol.com]

I'd like to see the photos because the engine number doesn't match the  
description.  Of course, or so I've heard, it's a simple matter to fit a  later 
engine while retaining the identity of an earlier, (eg original)  engine.

Looking  through the photo's I found in the trunk of 'The Best', I noticed 
that 
in  two picture engine was was originally painted Red.
Pictures of TheBeast  show it was  'rescued' sans engine and many other 
bits....
It is a  thick flange, 1275 engine, 12CCDAH, with a plate bolted where a 
mechanical  fuel pump would be.

It is now painted green... I know that AH did not  paint their engines Red.
Any suggestions as to its original vehicle  ??
