    Yes there are the ones in Macclesfield. I am giving him a call later today or tomorrow AM if you want me to ask what they have left. Do you just need just the motor or a gearbox also.

    I assume it hydrolocked the engine

    Hi Ed, Whereabouts are you? I would agree with Dom that the Macclesfield guys are a good place to start. They could probably ship the engine to you on a pallet.

    I counted them in and I counted them out (with apologies to Brian Hanrahan) - 005, 007, 019, 051, 103, 288, 354, 455, 577, 700 - the story continues.
