I have kept all the parts i need and just need to find a way of getting rid of the block. The rest of the stuff in the bottom pic will go on ebay when iv cleaned it.

ebay it or weigh it in i guess

i'm a bit lost what did you need from it?
are you still going V12, or straight 6 now?

speedyxjs - 8/9/09 at 03:50 PM

No, its straight 6 but the 3.6 i brought, didnt have a loom and it was cheaper (£120 cheaper) to buy another engine an take the loom of that than to buy a loom from a breakers or megasquirt.

The added bonus is that i have parts to sell so should be able to make some money back

get a foot or 2 of a tree which is as wide as the engine is long (may be difficult with out chopping a protected oak down) and use the block as an anvil
