- Ah, but there are! This became a stock high-performance Leyland engine for many years and parts are available from the UK (or were fairly recently). I believe it is still used, in its 3500 guise, in

- Actually, the engine is quite a bit lighter than even the thin wall castings of the 289. Remember, the heads on the 289 are not so thin!, nor are any of the other cast iron parts on it. To give you a

- Mark and all..... Nope, don't think Rich is exagerating. At the ripe old age of 41 though, I know how he feels. When I was in college, long after Rich was in high school, I weighed in at about 195. M

- Yeah? So what's your point? It was light, and I carried the entire engine, but I couldn't do that with a 289. Remeber, I was 18, 6'4" 275lbs, played football, and ran track. I could dead lift 425lbs,

- Interesting. I always got stuck carrying the Kegs to the beach on Puget Sound for the parties too. I got to drink for free for doing it too. It was about a half mile down a 20% grade through the wood

- Well, I haven't had a Sunbeam in a while, but I did sit in a parts car last year. I'm, shall we say, a bit "thicker" now than I was 20 years ago, so the small car feel is quite noticable now. Back th
