<div dir="ltr">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.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 1:21 AM, Allan Ballard via Tigers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net" target="_blank">tigers@autox.team.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
