What have you done today with your Austin Seven
so is this a 'real' crankcase, Nick? How are you going to operate practically re. crank and camshaft?

Hi Jon,
It is indeed a "real" crank case. It still has its 1 1/2 inch crank in and has a Paul Bonewell camshaft. There's bigger inlet valves and the block has been ported. It cureently sports a 1 1/8 downdraft SU and has a Supalloy head. 
I intend to put it in as is for now as it's running well. I can then start to "re Nippyfy" it with the correct head and carburettor etc from my existing engine should the mood take me.
It also has another proper sports gearbox attached which apparently works well but is "a bit noisy" according to the seller. I will keep this for now as a second spare and put the original gearbox to the car back on once it has its Super Accessories gears in. I'm currently running my spare Nippy box on the car.
Hopefully that all makes some sort of sense?
Best wishes,
Nick
