BMC A-series engine curiosity

Jun 10, 2004 0 Replies

I have a 948 engine which came out of my first Frogeye, back in 1971. It was painted gold so I assumed it was a factory Gold Seal unit. It has 950 cast into the block, but the engine number prefix is 8G. Over 33 years I have never been able to find out why this prefix violates the BMC convention. Any ideas?
