Hi fatty
I dont know if it would intrest you but i have a mk1 xr2 engine currently in a group a / stock rod .The engine was rebuilt for the car using 1300 pistons,higher compression,kent fast road cam, twin choke weber ,ashley 4 branch exhaust.The car got written off on its 4 outing and sat in the lock up ever since. I was going to sell the engine and scrap the rest just not got round to it.Also have some spares for it .£200 for the lot.I would take the engine out for you.
