for educational purposes so can be porous, cracked, whatever...

Would any companies have unusable ones that they want to get rid off?

Cheers,

i have a knackered block in the garage - but its been stripped - sorry !
you wouldn't learn much

in reality - they aren't that hard to strip down and put together


i just have to wait a little bit and see if mine works after going back together

Owen, you could always drop it at mine when you are next up and JJ isnt too far away from Bedford so could come and collect from me...

Lee the V8 engine goes no where, i have been laying here crippled for 4 days now, having done my back in properly lifting the engine into the back of the 130, it is now in the workshop, and that is where it stays until some one comes down and collects it

£10 for an engine? Can't go wrong! Will you be about over xmas? or sundays? and would I need to bring a pallet and some straps for it?

I take it two people could lift it (me and a mate, don't wanna damage your back further!)

a Rover weigh less that a Pinto...



Owens probably done his back in lifting it on his own! lol He pretty much carried my S3 Gearbox on his own... i didnt tell him i was only balancing it at the time!! :D

Yep £10 its yours, will be about over christmas, two peope can carry it, there was 2 of us lifting it but the back of th 130 is well over waist height,
it is pretty stable, been sat in the 130 since i did me back in,
depending in what you coming in you can just put it straight in
will pm you with contact details
