essex engine 2.5 ,3.0 has 3 exhaust ports per head and dizzy at the front and is an imperial bolted engine

2.3 , 2.8 have 2 porst per head , shared with 3 cylinders! dizzy near the flywheel (rear) and is a mectric bolted engine
2.4 and 2.9 are cologne metrics but with 3 port heads!

bolt pattern is the same on the bellhousings as is the input shaft for clutch , but there are a few different spigot bearing sizes , as many different sump configurations

the injection engines use better camshafts than the carb models!
