Title: Scrap case/block
Post by: spoolin70 on December 07, 2022, 05:20:58 am
Hi everyone

I’m looking for a type 1 case/block to use as a mock-up for my real (expensive) engine. Can be cracked, have insides smashed, pulled head studs, big holes etc. Just needs the mounting points in place so I can attach it to the engine plate.

I was borrowing a case but the owner needs it back so I’m looking for a case, preferably UK to attach my wooden cylinders to (cheaper than pauters  :D) and some old heads to give me the correct dimensions to work out a turbo header and clearances - 6inch rods mean she’s wide !!

Here’s what I’ve been using till now …
