2 Engine types are available.

Type 1. 1273cc short block kit @ £16,660.00 + VAT

Type 2. 1171cc wet liner block kit @ £18,660 + VAT.

You can always tell when sellers know that their product is expensive, the list it + vat.

Wonder if there's any wriggle room on the VAT, cough, cough!

"Short block" and "Block kit" mean that you still require a cylinder head and ancillaries.

 

I wonder what bore and stroke they have used ?

 

Kicking about somewhere, I have a 70.5mm bore X 75mm stroke, 1,171cc, aluminium block, rods and pistons, but no crank.  At £18,660-00 I think I could probably get a crank made for less than the £3,732-00 unmentioned vat.

It would be praiseworthy to have the foresight to acquire a spare engine for the stand-by generator to power the computor in case of a power cut when doing the vat return.

A smart move 👍
