    lets get low tech. measure how long it is... then we'll know if its a small or big block.

    then from the age stamp 86, we will be able to say either 1.3 or 1.8

    but i'm guessing its a 1.3 that had the irmscher mpi (corsa sprint) on it.

    that casting no is definateley from a 1300. Bronze guides are often used on high spec heads, also got waisted stems on there.
