basicly in my 77 GT ive found out its a silver seal engine, its got liners fitted and + 30 pistons, i just wondered how much new liners are if its even possible to still get them?
its an A series engine.
are these blocks worth anything being lined?

"BMC like many firms did an exchange reconditioned scheme for worn engines, one was the Gold Seal engine, a complete engine ready to fit and painted gold in colour. The other was
the Silver Seal exchange engine, basically a short-block for the owner/garage to fit the old head,sump, and ancillaries onto. Both used a similar system of engine numbering"
