Why Austins based the unblown engine on the coil engine and the blown on the mag engine we can only guess.They probably used the mag c/c so they could fit the water pump for better cooling and a convenient way to drive the s/c .
The pressure feed was very similar to the Gordon England Brooklands on these too.
Earlier cars all had 8 studs holding the block down.Austin altered this to 10 stud due to block c/c failures on the works cars of 1930.
Any variations were done later,ie Robin Jackson,private tuners.I know he fitted brackets either end of the block.
My guess is c60 blown engines,c160 unblown.
