A while back Chris McGovern submitted a chassis code list on the net. I've
got a copy on my hard drive in HTML format, so it must have come off a web
page somewhere but I can't remember where.
According to that list your engine came out of a 1964 Hillman Super Minx Mk
3. Your interpretation of the suffix code letters is correct. The prefix
letter B denotes the engine was made in 1960 onwards, whereas a prefix letter
A denotes 1950-1959.
