I have 1275 short block out of a '72 Midget with new pistons, the
cylinder walls honed and new rod bearings put in by University Motors. It
had low
warm idle oil pressure made only a few wierd noises on start up. The
thing
really didn't have much power. The crank will probably need turned and
the
cylinder walls bored. I've got no idea what the cam looks like (probably
needs
replacing). I've been too upset to even put thing on the stand. It is
still in the kitty litter.
cheap,
