Why not save money and build a 1330 yourself

Hi Peter, Not sure about the saving money angle?
Minispares shortblocks seem to get a good reputation for quality and at the price they charge it looks hard to beat.
If I factor in the cost of shipping / machining, time taken to organise , time taken to build , cash I could get back selling gearbox, carb/manifold and other stuff it would almost cover cost of spare RSP engine I would use as the exchange.

Cheers

I just like to build my own engines partly because I can take as long as I wish and work to my own standards and, secondly, because I do love building engines.

The Mini Spares short engines will be good value for money and I guess if I lives as far from civilisation as you do ( ) I might wish to buy a built-up unit.

Yes they are well put together.
