i've got a block and head doing nothing in my garage
literally a bare block

bit far though, and would literally cost 3/4 of an arm and 1/3 or a leg to post

can send engines for 44 quid with DHL. You just pay for aa pallet and anythin that fits on is fine..
Know a lot of people that have done this.

for the record mate, x16xe heads are different to:

x14xe
c16xe
x16xel

also the blocks on the x16xel are sometimes different (shallower pocket in the piston)
