short block so no head. have pistons crank conrods etc and sump I think there is an alternator... and yeah, cylinders are protected by a cloth in each however I would say a rebuild needs to be done. I also have a 4speed and a 4 speed with broken reverse,

You after a stock motor, or a hot one?

I have 2x A15's and I only really need one....

I could have my arm twisted for the right money

1) fully worked Reg Cook built A15, with about 5K receipts, balanced, ported, double valve springs, heavy clutch, lightened fly wheel. needs a set of pistons and a hone, as piston cracked. stripped for inspection.

2) Alternatively I have a rebuilt yet to be run A15 in more mild road tune (recently spent $1,000 on it), rally grind cam, ported/planed head, new rings, bearings, water pump, gaskets etc etc lightend flywheel, heavy clutch.

can include dogleg 60L gearbox, and dellortos for the right price also
