In the 1970"s , we were hauling engines out of cars every week end, as the british quallity was gash. Viva"s/ cortinas/ mini"s/ humbers, we stuck in whatever the Scrappy had, ie- 1300-1600. or 2000- 1300. because you had to pull them out again a month later, so bad were the engines ,
We never notified insurers, and if we smashed them" we never claimed either, to build up our no claims bonus, being 18 year olds,,
i stuck in my spare TS250 engine last year, till i reconned the original , it was identical engine ,bar the numbers,
