Thanks guys, I'm considering my options. I had my old man and uncle round to look at it. Between them they have built a great many engines in their time. They reckon for a standard application I would probably get away with it, but since it's getting a TD04 bolted on they agree it will need sorting before continuing. I'm looking at a good second hand block and pistons, and I'll also see what the machine shop says and weigh it up from there. This is a DHY engine, would a DHX block be a suitable donor? I can't think why not? I already have a recently reconditioned head so I'm not looking for a complete engine.
