No reason for it not to work. Maybe not race ready but plenty good for the

Subject: My latest challenge

> Why you might ask?
> Because I have buckets full of parts, I found a block in the garage when I

> 4 good used pistons, 5 rods, 11 rod caps, 6 main caps, 4 cams, a few used
> timing gears and chains.
> Several dizzys, 6 pair of carbs at least, a nice craked heat shield, and
> a head I know works cause it's on the kid's Mini right now.
> All I will need is an exhaust manifold.

> I could always Ebay it as a "rebuilt" engine.
> I mean it will be rebuilt ;)
