MG MGA - Twin Cam Engine

I have a mga twin cam vin # YD1 956, less the correct engine. How do I find out the correct engine # for this car? Does anybody now how to get another twin cam for this car?
Thanks all.

D.M,

I've seen your posts on the TC site.

I too have a pushrod car and can't find the correct engine number, unless you can find old licensing records which may mention it, before the engine was removed.

I have since purchased an engine (without the engine number as they come off easily when reconditioned)

If you look on the twin cam site, for the block codes, you can also get some idea of what you need or in my case have....

Not easy stuff as the factory did not keep records.

I've asked heritage and said if you can supply the engine number I will buy the certificate for £25 or whatever they charge.... but no reply....

All you get is basically this.

Unless you have extensive history documents
