Well.. you can get NEW steel caps at a price (from APTfast.com in the states) but at $750 for a capless block, I think he's dreamin' too. :lol:

Add $300? (guess) for line boring to the block here.

Steel Cap set $450
Line bore $500?

EDIT: Yeah look it may be worth something to someone but honestly, without the MK1 head, Mk1 EN40B crank and a host of other bits, we are talking a BOATLOAD of rare parts missing (proper tappet cover with the right breather for one)....

Back in 1966 I made a new steel centre cap for my 1220 out of axle steel.
It took ages but cost me nothing (I was a railways apprentice).
I didn't line bore it- I set it up in my lathe with another cap, bored it to 001" undersized, then hand scraped it true.
Not suggesting anybody would bother doing this now, just sayin'. :lol:

If this was the last thing needed for a matching number restoration, I'm sure its price would be worth it :wink:

Even for those that have a set of S main caps (off a destroyed block), $750.00 for a block sans caps, I want to know what drugs he is taking so I can take them too. They must be goood. :D

If it is indeed the matching number then it would be cheap as chips!! (I'd also go buy the lotto too if this were the case)
