Im after a going L18 engine in the north island and if its only the short block its ok.Flatemate had a clean out of my shed and accidently threw out a box of stuff that came off my L18 I was rebuilding.Luckilly I hadnt done any bottom end work yet and only head work.
Would rather a complete block rather than having to source stuff again and want to get it going for a hill climb in 1 and a bit months
Cheers guys
