engine and drivetrain 121 cylinder head fuel pump mount question (for a tii)

[jgerock]

Engine # 2762332 pulled from a 72tii.

There are (2) bolts installed where the fuel pump mounts to the head (for a carb'd car), but there isn't a hole in the block. Was it normal for the bolt holes to be present in 121 heads?

My 73 with E12 head does not have the holes for the bolts.

I think "most" 121 heads had the plastic runners on the tiis. Those two studs held the plastic runner upper intake "log".

You're too quick - I didn't see that last picture before my response:

What's the date stamped into your 121 head? Mine looks like June 72.

This one has aluminum runners. Not sure if they are original though

Something 71

VIN 2761332, plastic runners - never been messed with, has a pair of studs (just like the carbed cars). The plenum has an extended, cast in, support that bolts to the studs. ....... never paid attention to that before. Glad you pointed it out to me. Learnin' sumpin new every day. ; )

Counting the dots - looks like November 1971 casting date. That head is 39 years old this month (still young).

The late '71 build Tii motor in my garage has those as well, and this one had also been converted to aluminum runners..

Thanks Jason - do you know the date stamped into the KF injection pump? The one I'm working on now looks like August 1971. The date code is stamped on the engine-side of the pump (very difficult to read with the coolant hoses installed).

Here's the one from my '73

[eurotrash]

Yeah. Mine was dated 71. It and the injectors had been rebuilt by precision and they had put their info in that inside triangle. The block is second over bore...

I love all of your pictures.

Sincerely,

PS - Jim - are you doing and engine swap?

[BillWilliams]

That is the only way us OAM can remember things.

[eurotrash]

Interestingly, when I dismantled this sorry soul, the head was marked 121ti, not just 121..?

I can't find a pic though.

Ken -

I bought the engine as a spare and also as a learning tool for me. No plans to swap it into my 73 - still working out the bugs though.
