You will need the two carbs and the linkages, including the cross bar that mounts behind the shroud,fuel pump, heater boxes , tachometer drive plate & internals, ( this engine shows an oil pump cover for an electric tach ). Generator also. One thing you don't want is the oil filler that is now there...it is for the C/SC/912 engines only, in fact, the one in the photo is for a 912.

The whole engine is from about 1961 or newer based on the style of oil pump.
