I know I'm hardly impartial in this but.....

Pistons £450
Zlet pump and pickup £300
Clutch and flywheel £650

That's £1400 before you have even added the ARP's, rebuilt Coscast head, Cometic gasket, rebored block etc etc.

i no but it has pistons. oil pump flywheel and clutch so am savin a bit

only said it mate as i bought chris suttins old engine and the only parts that have been left in my engine now is the bare head and the crank, which has had a re grind , wish i had just built mine from bare block , whould of been cheeper

Why not just send on to the strippers in Preston Ben, I'd personally never trust a sand blasted one

Been reading this over the past few days, read the whole log and well... wow, like it a lot. Nice to see some real effort go into this car and the persistence when things go wrong.

Love this pic...

I think mine being on 87mm takes it to 2045cc so rounding up it has to be a 2.1 instead of 2.0. Shit I best send my docs off to the DVLA before I get bum raped by the 5
