Im thinking,,, (& yes i know it may give me a head ache )
but if you have an "S" but don`t have the matching engine
then maybe i have it

so,,, if you PM me your engine numbers then i can troll through all the "S" blocks that i have here
& maybe,,, ya neva know,,, i may have your matching block

i have heaps of em
so,,, send me your numbers & i`ll see what i have

i won`t list all the ones i have here cause other people may want to be naughty & steal the numbers & stamp them onto their own engine & try to pretend that they`re theirs

anyways, just a thought
But please be patient, this will take some time

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I suggested quite a few years ago for somone to setup a bit of a register as it would be great for blocks to be reunited with the cars where possible and if people were so inclined to sell/swap or trade. I have a car without its block and also S blocks.
Still think it would be good and if people are keen would be happy to setup a spreadsheet.

I agree, a spread sheet that can be added to in the wanted section would be good. I have a fair stack of them here as well. Would be great to re-unite a car and motor.
