Hi Guys
Well need a set of pistons and possibly a crank, would this block provide the correct parts please.

I would guess the pistons are interchangeable but cranks can vary depending on the spigot bearing at the gearbox end and the oil seals.

It's worth it just for the pistons at that price and you can roll the dice on the crank, and sell what's left over on the flea...

Don't forget the block will have some scrap value

As mentioned worth it for the pistons, sure that you will find lots of bits on the engine that you can use / better that yours worth a punt I would have thought, give the guy an email and have a chat with him fella!

The spigot bearing are changeable, so the crank should be fine also.
