[Tigers] To Round Out Your Sunbeam Collection

[Jay Laifman]

FYI, Rick (Sunbeam Specialties) bought a bunch of NOS 1725 short blocks
from Iran when Paykan was selling them.  One of them has my name on it for
when I'm ready to redo my Alpine again.  But for now, my 1880 cc Alpine
engine is still going very strong.  If I recall, the pistons are not Alpine
spec - but it's great to know that there are new blocks, cranks and rods
just waiting.
