Jay,
Let's buy that engine, change the plumbing, and sell it for gazzillions.

That's what I thought but the engine I was talking about had a picture and the fuel line was connected to the top.
Jay,
I am on the west coast.?
?If your question is about a stock 4 cyl fuel pump, yes, the top is for vacuum wiper vacuum, works flawlessly, creating the wonderful swipes of the window experienced when going uphill.? The bottom is fuel.
Am I correct to think the top is vacuum and bottom is fuel

Several years ago I traded a complete l134 to Montana overland for a rear wagon tailgate. I will bet he still has it. He will ship it.?

Best of luck, Dan.? You are a determined man!?
Please forgive this question, but have you considered installing a different engine altogether?? Could you use a Kubota, a Ford OHC truck 4 (Pinto), odd-fire V6, 3800 V6, even electric, to better end?? I have a friend who is a Mini
enthusiast (the original Mini) - he has replaced/rebuilt the 1098 engine multiple times when he could have adapted a superior-in-every-way Honda unit and had done with it.? When the Tornado finally dies in our wagon, we will go electric… probably…perhaps Fusion
powered…
Cheers,
Pavel up North.

Continuing on the story, the engine from the wagon went to the machine shop for an evaluation.? They didn't like this condition:
?
?
What we have are genuine block cracks, cylinders 2 and 3, that go from about an inch on the top, under the valve seat, and down the inside of the valve "hole", not sure of the proper name.?
While Locknstich makes products and has a process for dealing with cracks, the depth down the valve hole they didn't like.
?
So, the search began for a replacement block.? Nothing on Craigslist, anywhere within 1000 miles.? 150 miles to the south were a pair of engines that were complete, that had been used for a
school project years ago, then stored.? Engine #1 looked like this:

No pistons, or pushrod's; surface cylinder rust, one crack, but smaller, and does not extend below valve seat. But never bored out.
?
Decided to look at engine #2:
?

?
Notice the crack across the top, including under the peened area, and from the exhaust valve.? I took this engine back. ?
?
There turned out to be a third block, with no head.? It looked great on the top, no cracks, never bored, hooray! Until a side view revealed...
?
<image004.jpg>
?
A little patch and JB weld, maybe?
?
This engine does have a good crankshaft,? helpful connecting rods, and a decent camshaft.?? So, we're going with the first block, with some parts, probably, from the third block. ?
