If the block has been shaved down, it probably took the number stamping with
it. Clark's suggestion of counting the studs if then the best way to tell.
The 1147 and everything before has 11 studs. Afterwards, there are 10.

That is correct for the production engines. There were some 8-port
heads made for the Lemans and other works cars with the 1147, and I
assume some were also sold as upgrades. I don't know if there have been
any made after that. They would be quite dear in either case.
If it has a 6 port head it can't possibly be anything larger than a 1147
(unless it has been bored out).
What is the serial number prefix? That should tell you everything you
need.

It's my understanding that no 1296 Spitfire motors have 6-port heads and
that only 1147s have 6-port heads. Is that correct?
We're looking at a spare motor which the seller swears is an 1296, but
which has a 6-port head.
