Jonathan Pounsett Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Is this any good? I’ve bought from this chap recently - he’s got quite a few Manta parts but is only putting bits up for sale every now and then. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Manta-B-2-0-ltr-engine-block-/154264179188?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmanta Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 How big a hurry are you in? I have a few cih engines and I am sure there is a complete 1900 in the pile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Ty Chaps, no great rush, probably 3months or so before I need to think of engine build. Knew it would take a while to find one probably, so have started to look early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted December 28, 2020 Author Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just now, GTEPETE said: Ok, only asked as have seen some blocks marked with an Opel Bitz... Think they are earlier castings, would be nice if it is an Opel block 1900 though 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Early casting is the one for tuning thicker around the cylinder linings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
