[T3] Early engines


Hi all

I need some help on early engines I have a late November 61 T34 (chassis
0002910).  Its original sidedraft carb engine was no 3120 but it now has a
slightly later one with engine number TR 172401.

Questions are as follows

1  - when was the engine made - without the TR prefix I would have but it as
pre August 63 (it is a side draft engine)

2 - the manifold on the engine is mangled - any good sources of replacements
in the UK  (None with T3D at present) - presume I need to be careful it fits
the right heads and isn't coked up, were early heads similar to1200cc's?
3 - as a bove who could supply a good correct air cleaner and retaining
strap?
4 - finally the tinwear that goes over the cylinder heads seems to be
different to that on my 65 model, in that at its leading edge there isn't a
piece that drops down through 90 degrees  - links to good pictures of
engines would be useful.

Thanks
Andy
