somebody saw me working on my midget, and asked me if I knew anybody
looking fo a
motor for a B , well I guess it came out of an austin marina ? It has
30k, an automatic trans. zenith carb,
a 1800cc. I have never seen this motor, but for $ 350, if it runs good (
said it did ) it wouldn't be a bad deal.
I just don't know if it'll fit in a B.
If any one is interested, I can put you in touch. Then motor is in the
Cleveland area.
