I just finished a Postal Van engine and it has a tag on it of
10V/189E/L60217. It's a bit different, but still not a "G" with 2" mains.
You can interchange harmonic balancers with pressed steel pulleys, and the
flywheel will have to remain 1098 with a 1098 cover. That's what it's
drilled for, anyway.
