I just found an 850 block (no crank) that looks like it should be an inline engine. It has a thread-in oil pick-up hole in the block and the 3 threaded holes in the end of the block for the inline" oil slinger" for the main cap. If I recall correctly you can make a transverse engine inline but why would you do the work with a smaller block (and then put +.030 pistons in it)? Was there anything with an inline 850 in it?

Re: inline 850 ?
"In October 1962 the final version of the A35 van was introduced, this was the AV8, the AV7 being the early Mini van. The van was uprated to a 6 CWT up from the 5 CWT of the previous models. The engine size was increased to 1098cc and the carburettor was changed to a single 1¼ SU. The clutch was increased in size to 7¼ inch to match the engine output, along with a 4.22:1 final drive ratio.
In 1963 Austin trialled the 848cc engine that was now widely used in the Mini, along with a 4.8:1 final drive ratio. Both versions of the engine were now made available until May 1966, when the 1098cc option was dropped. Production ceased in February 1968."
