Hey guys, On Ebay at the moment there is a Xflow for sale that the seller is calling a Heavy Duty 711M engine due to the fact that it has three large X's on the block just above the mount on the exhaust side(photo supplied) said it came out of a van. I was just wondering what the history of these blocks was and whats different about them?
Not bidding on it or anything just curious
 
I dont know how to post Ebay adds on this to show to you

no idea bout the 'x's

I was under the impression all australian mk2 1600cc engine was the 711m engine?
 

thinker cylinder walls and flat head.  i think thats the only differences.
 
 
cheers

 Cool clears that up, thanks mate
 

Yes they have slightly thicker walls than older 711m's , mine has XXXX 2x above and 2x below offset to the mount. you can almost safely bore them to 85mm. I have 1 here, its from a mid/late1981 Escort regardless if sedan or van. GKM is buying mine for $50 needing a build up.
