Chris,
The top hat linered blocks are the way to go, from what I hear. =20
There are new (not remanufactured) engines available from RPI in the UK =
(I=E2=80=99ve had good results using them in the past when I was =
rebuilding my Morgan Plus 8=E2=80=99s engine) and their website has some =
useful information on it as well. You might check their ebay pages, =
although I don=E2=80=99t see any bare blocks for sale there at the =
moment.
