THIS GOT RETURNED TO ME ??  I PRESUME YOU GOT IT BUT MY MAIL THINGY (I
ALWAYS USE TECHNICAL WORDS) SENT ME A COPT TOO??????????


Marguerite,

Me take it badly?  Hardly - I'm English and we have skins as thick as our
motor cars (what?)  Anyway.  I can get Ministry of Defence (MOD) rebuilt
3.5L Rover engines with all new or rebuilt Strombergs, oil & water pumps,
starter, altenator, sump, timing chain & cover, distributor, plugs and
leads, viscous fan - all for US$1,500.  I can also get LT77 and R380
gearboxes.

I will try Richard and see if he wants some of these - Condsidering Rimmer
charges $4,000 for a long block - these engines are a steal

Thanks
