It’s an early 1957 pre A engine that originally had a roller bearing crank in it, but was replaced with one piece replacement crank during the rebuild.  It has dual single throat Zenith carbs and early shroud and linkage. Basically it looks exactly like this engine when assembled in a car.

In model year 1956, the 356 was replaced by the comprehensively enhanced 356 A. As from its market launch, this type was available with five four-cylinder engines:

- 356 A 1300 with 44 hp
- 356 A 1300 Super with 60 hp
- 356 1600 with 60 hp
- 356 A 1600 Super with 75 hp
- 356 A 1500 GS Carrera with 100 hp
