I am on the lookout for an engine. Mine's OK, touch wood but I fancy trying
a rebuild. 

I saw this on eBay:-

Quite cheap at the moment. 

The vendor was a bit sparse with information. Initially there was just one
photo; the ones with the numbers came after a query from me. Likewise, he
didn't/doesn't say if the engine turns. It does, he says.

Now, the "29" makes it a 3litre and the "H" makes it a high compression. But
what else? What am I missing? What can one tell from looking at the photos?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Simon
