Hi JonE,
The main original parts are all being used, crankcase, block, head, cozette No4.
The crank and rods, have been replaced for hadley counterbalanced crank and rods.
No guarantees, but hopefully that will make a strong original engine.
My dread of sports engines going under benches, is from type 65s and NIPPY. Once the engines have been removed, they rearlly go back in the car. What usually happens, is the owner knowing the sports engine is very valuable. When selling there car, The engine will go one way for perhaps £6k. And they will still ask for the same price for the car without the sports engine, as they would with it.
An engine under the bench does the same amount of work if its mint or blown up.
So it might as well be in the car, as intended.
Thanks tony.
