    Cylinder ID Help

    Hoping some of you may be able to give me some information on the pictured cylinder. The car is a 71 and started life as a T, I have had the car about 8 yrs, the PO was going to give me info on a fresh rebuild before it being stored about 15 yrs, well the info never came across. Times I think I don't care others I want to find out what I can without tearing it down, Here is what I do know. Car runs very strong, the rebuild included 930 cam chain idlers & tensioners, weber's, SSI and a windage screen was added in the case as well. The Mahle cylinders appear to be aluminum, definitely not ferromagnetic, there are 16 cooling fins I see no numbers as to possible bore. The rebuild would have been done around 1992 and I have to assume not an average rebuild based on what I am able to see. Any help in identifying the cylinder is much appreciated.

    Regards

    Thank You, understood, was not sure if the # of fins might relate to a specific set? was under it the other day doing oil change and again looking for more numbers or clues so I decided to post to the group.

    Thanks Again!
