Hello

I have not got a standard 1800... but I do have a 'spare' 1900cc TSR lump in the shed. (it'll pull trees outa the ground)
Interested?  Let me know and I'll tell you more.

Hi

When I took it out it was running.
It will need bits swapped over, like oil pump, sump, cam belt & cover, clutch etc. 
It is a bare engine, but still complete.  I was going to sell the head and give who ever brought it a 'free' bottom end.
At tick over it had pants oil pressure, but about 1500rpm it was fine, no knocking etc? (not enough to put the light on, but the VDO guage showed not a lot)  Ran really well, mega amount of torque, dunno about horses, but it would wheel spin, in the dry, in second, turning into a junction.

Make me an offer.  I may consider delivering, or you could come and pick it up and have a look through my MK1 junk and maybe take that away too!!!

Cheers
