I had a tough time sourcing a block about a week ago. I did find one outside of Boston for $400 with no guarantees whatsoever, not magnafluxed or anything.

From what I understand after talking to an aftermarket parts source...lots of the rover blocks get cracked and get moved to the scrap heap.

A bare engine block with a glass table on it and lights that light up at random to simulate the cylinders firing.
How cool would that be?

I just found this on craigslist... http://knoxville.craigslist.org/pts/1206541379.html Prob not what you are looking for or to spend but how bad *** would it be to have a defender motor that actually ran under your table?
