Hi Greg,
I have recently aquired a ford crossflow engine that came out of an Albatross. Although I need the engine, I have no use for the Albatross bits (engine mounts, heat exchanger, inlet manifold, front pully etc) Let me know if your interested?
Mick.

Have a complete but crated early 1600 crossflow (681F) that requires marinising .......... with the bits you're already being offered would this be of use ?  ......price negotiable. e-mail malcolm.preskey@hotmail.com

Thanks for the offers but I have sourced a 100e engine but could still do with the sump if you know where one is.

Sumps will be a bit of a challenge, but they can be made in Alloy sheet and welded together if you cannot obtain an original and do not want to go down the casting route.
