the Morgan 4/4 began in 1936 prior to the start of World War II. It
was the company's first car with four wheels, and its '4-4' (later
4/4) was in reference to the four wheels and four cylinders. The
Morgan Motor Company was founded in 1910 by H.F.S. Morgan and run
by Peter Morgan, son of H.F.S. until his death in 2003. Based in
Malvern, Worcestershire, United Kingdom, the company remain in
production today. They are the world's longest running production
vehicle. The early Morgan 4/4 models were powered by Coventry
Climax's 1,122cc four-cylinder inline-over-exhaust engine. Two
years later, a special Climax-engined sports model raced at LeMans,
qualifying for the Biennial Cup. For the 1939 season, a special
Standard 1,267cc overhead-valve four-cylinder engine was introduced
and would continue to power the 4/4 model to 1950. After a
five-year hiatus, the Morgan 4/4 was re-introduced in 1955 with
Ford 100E power. New engines and modifications would continue
throughout the years. In February of 1968, Morgan introduced the
4/4 1600 powered by a variety of Ford 1599cc Kent engines offering
70 - 96 horsepower depending on setup and configuration. By March
of 1982, a total of 3,513 had been production. The A711M block for
1.6 L (1,599 cc )was introduced in 1968 with thicker block wall,
square main bearing caps, large diameter cam followers and wider
cam lobes, with the latter block having a 7/16" taller deck height,
together with a return to the flat head. These changes represented
a significant improvement in the reliability of the engines, and
the blocks are commonly referred to as '711M' blocks. Verified by
stamping on our block. Awesome condition and running vehicle on
