I would dearly love a 970, its just a shame that despite there being so many out there, market forces hasnt effected the prices...

I remember when 970 stuff was about 60% that of 1275 stuff
As with all original S items they have now become rare & much sought after bits. As there really were so many fewer made originally it is inevitable that the prices will rocket, particularly when there seem to be a lot of people building sub 1000 historic racers at the mo.

It feels good to have two 1071/970 blocks under .040

Damm, do I need an AEG480, preferably std/std
PS.: That's actually not a joke.

I wouldn't have ever raced with anything but std/std since the nitriding was marginal even at 10/10. For a 999cc race Mini a Gordon Allen crank would be the best bet. Only one of the five for sale would be suitable for serious racing.
