They came with a batch of early 3000 engine parts, however, there was a Wolseley bell housing in the mix too. Some of the cams are toast but they may be good as cores for someone. I would like to know what they are from. The second gear drive has me flummoxed.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Cheers, Mirek<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><camshafts.JPG></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html</span><br><span>Suggested annual donation $12.75</span><br><span></span><br><span>Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive</span><br><span></span><br><span>Healeys@autox.team.net</span><br><span>http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</span><br><span></span><br><span>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/austin.healey@gmail.com</span><br><span></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
