      Trebuchet ... either as the counter weight for a small one or as ammunition for a large one.

          I'm yet to get some rods/pistons for it - the glass is a little unstable atm lol.

          Stix - Sorry man, they're both old leaky EB motors....

          JamesB - LOL! I'd love to build one of those big fuckers. Throwing a motor a few hundred meters would be hilarious.

          ALLMTR - No...but do you want some spare engines? :D

          Looks like I'll give ebay a go.

            is more work - but if you pull them apart and strip the heads down to alloy and non-ally bits, you'll get more $ for scrap.


            personally, i'd go for james's medievil catapult just for the entertainment and what-could-possibly-go-wrong factors.

                  That Chebby bbq should have a Webber on it,

                  Would that make it a Webber then?

                    If they fitted the Weber 40 IDL 3C1 carburettors that they used on the Lamborghini Miuras, then they'd have a self igniting barbeque.

                      How did you end up with that block as your coffee table?

                        Nothing as exciting as that...

                        The owner complained of a tapping noise in the motor. The case-hardening on one of the roller followers had failed, damaging the cam lobe (or vice-versa) and little bits of hardened steel got pumped round the motor - it fuct everything - bores, bearings, oil pump, crank, cam etc etc.

                        The customer got a new bottom end under warranty, the heads were still ok.

                        The other bits could probably have been repaired with a hone and some linishing etc, but it costs Holden less to supply a new bottom end than to pay someone locally to make it good again, and it keeps the customer happy.
