The heads will have been skimmed to get the 9.6 to 1 won't be much left on those. May use rocker pedestal spacers also.

The way prices are going here + decent exchange rate that'd be a feasible project..............................

I'll buy it if someone else pays for and arranges shipping
What a reasonable proposition. Bet you have been snowed under with offers.

I'll be in Colorado Springs in August and a buddy coming over from CO Springs at end April. Anything ( lightweight !) that you could use from this side ?

How about £10,000? I'll convert it myself at my bank. Cheers.

All of you should have seen it when I first acquired it.
Far worse than our American P38 cousin as discussed iun this post.
And I doubt whether many of you will have come across anything quite as bad as mine!!!
But she IS improving, (almost daily), so I am fully expecting major HG, (or liner), issues once I have brought her back to an acceptable level!
She has already started to pay me back - by transporting a chest freezer back from Woodhall Spa!
Incidentally. . .
I was sent over to North Carolina and Georgia, (back in the 80's), to scour the land for various analytical components, (and a couple of LARGE Bio-Chemical Analysers, (one about the size of a P38), and I spent most of my time wrapping everything in rolls of clingfilm before having them all crated and sent back to Blighty!
Now if the beast was located in the 'leafy suburbs' of Savannah, (everything being adorned in that amazing 'Spanish moss'), I may have considered a little foraging jaunt across the waters . . . .
I always support the 'underdog' - but not the pigeon!

Happy to do that : I'll bring it in £3 used notes.
