As per subject title, as close to East Sussex as possible but willing to travel. Short block or full engine anything considered, just nothing that's been sitting for years on end or dead please.

Welcome, Josh.

You are clearly a man who knows what he wants, and how to ask for it.

Thanks for the welcome

not currently a lude owner, have a facelift ATR & was recommended to the forum to aid my search for parts. Always on the look out for a nice BB4 also.

A hole in the wall of a cylinder that's been plugged with a bolt...

Sounds interesting...

I imagine the bolt has been inserted from the otherside of the cylinder wall, but yes... I'd ask to see pictures first. Still, potentially cheap for a cleaned, honed and skimmed block.

I've seen that one yeah, completely put off by the whole tbh I want something that's going to be sound as it'll be boosted. Thanks still

I've seen an engine block with a core plug that hadn't been there when new, so why not?
