1947 Austin 8 bought it for £20.00 in 1963 but it smoked like a good ' ern. and was the first engine that I completely rebuilt, striped it and sent away the block for a rebore with new pistons and the crank for a regrind, when rebuilt I sprayed it gold like the Austin gold seal recon engines that were available for the sixty's BMC cars of thouse days.It looked a treat and could out accelerate a basic Mini in first and second gear. :lol
When the going get's tough the tough get going.
