Cheers for your replies guys
Kev......thanks for your very kind offer, I,m hoping to swap like for like with another CVH but if I may can I put your offer of the Pinto as a "last resort" alternative please ? thanks mate .
TT......cheers mate, might be in touch subject to locating another engine .
Nath.....cheers mate, yes , that will come in handy as will no doubt need to swap engines.
Carl.....cheers for that , I,ve sent Gus a message so hopefully that might save the day .
Mark......yes I think it may cause me probs, but all I can do is contact them & explain the situation, hopefully they,ll understand & maybe let me carry on with the process although I,ll probably end up with a "Q" plate as i,ll be unable to confirm age of engine ( maybe ).
cheers also to Mike for an email of a possible engine available.
thanks guys.
Andy
