Hmm ok. No sorry I have to disagree there. They are not the same as a VC-Mustang just with the VC dropped. The bases are a similar shape but the are in fact different by having the auto drive cast in it,as well as a moulded piece under the engine to allow air to flow off the cutting disc and under the engine to help with cooling. Also once the engine is apart you can see different shape of the crank and different castings on it and other parts. Crank cases are also slightly different in casting. The head has added bits as well as numbers that corrispond to the engine number. I think I know what your trying to say but to say they are the same I strongly disagree.
Just to add the styling of the engine is typical of a series 80. So I guess that's why they gave it the series 80 sticker,even if it was from 1979. It could have been the start of the new era.
