Hi, I've got a 1275 short block which came in my mini in need of some work. Originally it was a gold seal MG Metro engine however the pistons were changed to Metro Turbo types and it was run in a turbo mini. While the engine was running it needed major work as there was a considerable amount of blow by and cracked piston rings. The taper on the crank is damaged and the pistons seem to have detonation damage. I believe the block to be +30" overbored but it will need overboring again as there is a fairly large lip. The Camshaft is unfortunately a standard 1275 cam, not an MG metro one but that said it is in very good condition. I also have a verto flywheel which can go with the block, an oil filter housing, clutch cover, timing cover and primary gears. Basically everything minus the head and the gearbox. I will upload some pictures tomorrow to make things a bit clearer.
I know that there is a lot of work to do but I think that with the rods, cam, flywheel and other bits included £175 seems reasonable.
