Any suggestions as to where I may be able to locate an engine. I thought I may have had some luck through this forum. Have tried Lakes at Sandy as well.
Thank You

Top of the block rotted through to the oil gallery. Told it's not uncommon on these engines.

If your willing to travel for it, a friend of mine has 3 or 4 of these engines available. I spoke to him today to confirm he still had them before posting. He's located just outside Falkirk, Central Scotland.

That may work, not sure I could travel (other end of the country) but perhaps if he could strap a couple to a pallet????
If you could pass my details on please?

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, (been sick!) I would rather a good running engine but if the price is right.
Thanks
