Cannot fault your taste in cars!! Another really cool project here, will keep an eye on it.
cheers I like random old stuff
one of my drivers picked this up for me today
I paid £155 for the lot ! bargain imo
so we spent 2 hrs this afternoon stripping
there was signs of water in one pot but the engine was sat outside with no intake or carb on it so im not sure how its got there yet.
but anyways after inspection the crank journals are standard, the shells are worn and the crank will want a grind but its looking all useable as are the bores.
my plan now is strip to bare block and send away for crank grind, rebore and full balance with the new pistons im gonna have, I gotta decide on a compression ratio I can run either 9.5 or 11 those are the choices of pistons I have.
my main concern was the crank and block which appears to be ok so im happy at £155 for the lot.
I just need to try and discifer why there was slight rust in one pot !
