I am currently working on an engine for my EB 65
I have all the original parts apart from the Carb.
It will be giving a home to one of the Hadley Cranks fom Tony B.
It took some soul searching before I cut the back of an original crankcase to allow the Hadley into its new home. The crankcase already had been Rodified in the past but had a good crank and three good rods in it and one rod which had been welded up ( Quite a lot heavier than the others ) I snatched a set of original rods from Tony B to make a decent set up just to keep an original crank and rods together.
The sand cast crankcase I have is in excellent condition apart from extra breather hole in the side the deck is lot thicker than the die cast one.
I will be converting the case to full pressure fed spec.
Unfortunately my wife might notice if I extended the house mortgage to add the Ulster to the toy shed. I will have to buy a Lottery Ticket or two instead.
I do hope the car ends up with a proper driver not a shiner !!
