Cheers Gareth. I think the money side is good

Not so sure about the linered part - Would a bore and liner be done to cover up problems in a previous life, or simply to build a "stronger" engine?

Find out who the seller is and give Graham Goode a buzz would be your best bet. Is it a ford 200 or Cosworth block ?
