It's worse than that Jim .......
It's a low compression 1700 cc !
However it was also available in 2000 cc again a low compression unit if in a Sherpa they are both 8:1 and I think the only difference between them is the length of the con rods but cannot be sure.
They appeared in several guises a TC would help.
Oddly they are considered a good swap for the MGB 1800cc [ where they were supposed to go in the first place ! ] as they are lighter and with the LT77 5speed box [ mine has that ] are again lighter and better geared than the 4 speed + O/D..

Still from what I understand of a lightened Sherpa car plenty of power !
