Andrew, I've found over the years that always having the "W" block with SSS L18 engines is not a cut 7 dried rule i.e. not all early ones had W blocks, actually most Oz ones didn't but most of them up until 74/5ish has steel cranks and flat top pistons, but from Japan I've just about any combination that you can think of. I haven't even seen an engine number difference either so for mine it's always been a bit of a lottery - we used to get the body plate if it was still on an Aussie SSS wreck.
