Wayne,
thanks for the info, I may mail you if that is okay to ask some further advice on engine options.
The block has been inspected, is a '67, still on standard bores but needs a 2 to 4 though hone to remove some slight tapering. Consequently I am after some oversize pistons, ideally 4 thou though rather than the next overbore size.
I'm not sure which heads it has, and there is no inlet manifold, so I need to sort these (thinking alloy heads), as well as a cam as I have no idea which one it currently has (it has hydraulic lifters but is definitely drilled as a side oiler, like the 68 blocks I guess).
All advice gratefully received with where to get these /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I know what you mean with regards to selling the block/crank/etc and going with a lightweight alloy job. That may be an option and is something I have considered.
I'm also VERY interested to hear a price for that T44. I'll mail you tomorrow (Monday) from my work account so we can discuss this too.
Cheers,
John.
p.s. as you say it seems BB engine users seems to be a bit thin on the ground. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
