It is actually sitting in my back shed gathering dust and spider webs. It is complete with the 7 main bearing caps and bolts/nuts. I also have a single worn liner. I had thought that I could use them to take to displays for people to look at and feel etc - it is surprisingly light for what you would expect a V12 engine block to weigh... I also had thoughts of using it for a coffe table base, but my wife soon changed those thoughts !!! If you are looking for a usable block, it has a cracked gallery, in a untouchable spot. Some thoughts initially were 1) - cut a section out of the side to get at the crack, weld it and then repair the cut out section. 2) - block up the gallery and put in an external pipe to go around the leaking area I don"t know exactly where the cracks are, I haven"t delved into it so there may be other posibilities but the previous owner decided it was easier and better in the long run to get hold of the second hand block from England. Hope this gives you the info you were looking for John jallott@albury.net.au ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 12:09 PM Subject: [VintageLambo] Re: New List Member > Hi John, > I have an interesting question for you.
