It has Dual Carbs and 4 intake ports.
Am I to assume then that this is a 1296 from 1969 and not an 1147?
Does anyone know what clutch style this motor had with it in 1969 without me
having to take it apart before I order?

FE was used in and around 1969 for the 1296cc engine. Just to be sure, Does
the engine have two intake ports or four? Two it's an 1147, four it's a
1296 or 1500.
