It's a side-valve sloper-style with sump and I think it's 500cc (haven't removed the head to check).

Just came my way with some other bits I bought.

The engine number is: LC8777

I've put a couple of photos up on DropBox:

Any help appreciated!

I wonder if it could be an early thirties model B.

250 side valve..

It's a Model L from 1932, a 500 s/v. It seems to be the only year this type of engine was built. During the 30s Enfield were constantly experimenting, this engine looks quite pretty. Good find!

Yes Marks right, Model L 500cc.

Think they made a 570cc as well, darn confusing those early models, well to me anyway..

Have you got a frame or forks, interesting..
