andydunn2 · 26-01-12, 08:32 PM

With all the 20v coversions that have taken place, I am wondering what happers to all the old WR & MB lumps that get pulled out???

I am toying with another project and might be on the hunt for complete MB lump at some point and was just wondering where they all go to...

One of them ended up in my WR after I blew my engine up last February. Guy had taken it out a 1984 WR to do a 20v conversion, advertised it on Ebay and I won it.

Absolute godsend it was, i had melted a piston in my old engine and i was due to give up on the whole thing when i managed to get the replacement really cheap, and it runs well.

My old engine block just ended up in the back of the scrap metal collector van, but i kept the head and the dialynx manifold.

Another WR engine available. Bloody hell, they're falling out the cupboards these days.

They're all in the backs of sheds, workshops and containers. It's cheaper to get another from the Bay of Fleas than to rebuilld one.

Agreed, which is part of the reason I am struggling to warm to my B3 20V CQ....
