This looks like a good deal.

Do they mean 1756cc, where they noted 1356cc?

Also, related to the link for the short block for sale,
if the crank is in there, and the rods connected, the pistons wouldn't all be in that position, right?

Jlond,
I would guess same as you: 1756cc. The piston positions look reasonable -- all 4 at approximately mid-stroke. 2 pistons on the way up in tandem, and 2 pistons on the way down in tandem. I don't know the seller, but I'd think they would be glad to answer your questions. The phone number is listed in the auction, suggesting that they are attempting to be accessible.

the pistons could easily be all at the same point, in fact the manuals suggest you put them in that position when installing the cyl head to insure you don't bend any valves. The id shows it to be a 1756cc. Shipping might be an issue though
