i'de love to thanks for offering to donate me a bam engine :)

would like to do it but money permits and need the car back asap as its my daily driver and i need it for my 36 mile commute to work so a rebuild is in order with some extra power but not the ideal conversion i'de like to do

got myself a simple 2 litre bottom end and going to port an 8v cyliner head and bang it all together back on my webber unless i get my arse into gear and slap on the bike carbs ....
