Just to confirm what Jay said, My SAOC Alpine guide shows a B300 engine as a
Sunbeam Rapier III engine - 1492cc. Your Series II should be a 1592cc.
Engine nos. for a Series range from B9000001 to B9011904. Don't transplant
anything -its close enough !!(with apologies to Frank). Lets get those
pointy fins back on the road !!
