yes the 711 could be either. If you have a particular block in mind then check the casting marks. If it says 711M-6015-AA its a 1300 or possibly even
an 1100. The 1600 has 711M-6015-BA on it.

711M in my garage is definitely a 1300 block.
As mentioned - check the castings...

must be the same man who sold me mine, said it was 16700 but turned out to be 1300, cheaper road tax so not all bad.
AA is a 1300; BA is 1600.

I just bought a 711M 1600 engine and a set of +90 pistons to take it up to 1690. However, when I stripped the engine I was somewhat dissapointed to
find it's had liners put in so can't re-bore it. Slightly odd as pistons and bearings are standard size and engine looks like a low
mileage lump.
Did Ford ever line blocks to salvage porous castings at the factory?

Yes they did sometimes , I came across a few when working for a company that reconditioned engines.The worst thing they did though was to bore main
bearing caps over size to salvage badly machined blocks , many people have been caught out by that and the over size mains are more expensive than
standard ones.
