Hello,
As the transfer ports have a unique shape on a 1250, yours definitely is a 1250 cylinder block, and everything I can see agrees that it is a 1968 1250 model. The Canadian serial number appears to be from a 1966 model (950 or 1100), but I would need more pictures to venture further as to why.

Thanks for the reply Joe!
So I guess it might just be a 1250 afterall!
I can get more pictures tomorrow morning for ya to review. Is there any part of the motor you would like to see specifically?
Is it possible the cylinder was moved on to a different swivel bracket?
