Jonathan Pounsett 51 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Is this any good?

Jessopia74 931 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 post Share on other sites

Jessopia74 931 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 post Share on other sites
