I reckon those Metros in Melbourne are a good deal. For $675 you get the whole deal including a rodchange box (sell if you don't need). Heck it might even be a runner..

By the time you go hunt down a 1275 block, crank, head, rods, cam, pushrods, drop gears and all the bits and pieces you could spend that, or more. Then you have to reco it.. :cry:

You can see why up until now I have had a 1098 motor! I suspect that the rings are on the way out anyway. Good thing is, with 20 thou over pistons in it I can just get another 998/1098 block, bore it out and transfer internals!
