Think since I am slowly running out of money to complete the hill climb car build for now, I will just do jobs that are free.

I have a m52b28 in the shed. It's a nikasil block but only has about 40k on (same mileage as my m50 too) so I want to relieve it off its crank etc.

What bits do I need to build an m50b28? I am guessing crank, rods and pistons and big end shell bearings right?

Cheers :)

Id keep the ally block if its low milage/trouble free, its only when theyve been overheated and f*cked about with by mongrels when they become scrap

I fancy the extra strength for future plans, also it being nikasil puts me off using it.

I know its an extra 20 kilo's or so up front, but I can live with that for now
