A block with no caps is a doorstop, the caps are not interchangeable.
By the time you buy 3 new steel caps and then get it all line bored, you could have bought 2 blocks, WITH caps.

I do have a couple of auto blocks, still std bore, WITH caps and bolts.
Can modify to suit manual box. [edit] including oil pump alloy spacer.

It will be interesting to see if the seller gets the $800 starting bid!

Tell him he's dreamin', they are worth 1/2 that, WITH caps, if not overbored too much.

The beauty of ebay is you can ask whatever you like. And keep relisting at the same price, looking for that mythical buyer! All part of the fun. My main gripe withebay is that the word mini has largely been hijacked by the BMW variant, so searches are a little bit more difficult.

As guide price, that's promising.

Would definitely want a block with caps..
