I have just bid him on that lot. It's a decent selection, but not much I haven't seen before & expensive. If it does land, I'll be adding any new stuff to the main site.

It probably won't now :lol:

Its probably referred to the later thin flange block with the beefed up centre main bearing web .
It was introduced into production cars sometime in late 65 or early 66
