Keep the block and sell the head Smile

Half decent heads are plentiful but when was the last time a brand
new block became available ?

Ideally you want to build the engine from a full donor engine as
everything you need is there already.
If you can find a smallport crank and rods then you can buy new smallport
pistons to fit the new block from Toyota at reasonable cost.
Smallport pistons are the best stock 16v pistons available, last time I
enquired on price they were £72 each + rings.
