No, I’m not nuts - I just need to rob a donor engine of a vast number of ancillaries and parts (housings, oil pipes, bits of plastic, clips, brackets) - way cheaper to rob a donor engine than to order new.
Could be anything - even a blown engine with a hole in the block - it’s just the fiddly bits I need.
Alternatively if someone already has a pile of bits I’ll buy them. I have a brand new block, crank, pistons, complete head, cams, verniers - just missing all the little bits and bobs.
Cheers
