How to tell age of 1300 X-Flow

[Scotty2]

Before thinking about the IVA for my Locost, I have to determine the age of the engine. There is a casting number on the LHS of the block: 711M6015AA which confirms 1300 XfFlow, but I can't see ( but will look again) for any other numbers. Anyone know how to date the engine?

Bit of a resurection...

TK00014 which makes it October 1977, an old punk like me!

Due to getting some unexpected time on my hands, and prompted by No 1 son, the Locost has been completed, well nearly.

Fuel gauge fitted and working. Wiring tidied, engine cooling system treated and flushed which demonstrated that the radiator is shot. I believe it is a Mk 1 or 2 Escort one as per engine donor? I will get it recored locally to ensure it will fit back OK.

Aim is to compete at a Hillclimb at Harewood this year....

Radiator refurbished and upgraded. Local company Bevrad (old school) did it and brazed on some bars for the fan to fit.

Next step to pass scrutineering when I can find someone to look it over.
