Mgtc Mg Tc Engine Block With Main Caps on 2040-parts.com
Redding, California, US
Original MGTC engine block. The bores measure between 2.66 and 2.67. I don't see any problems with this except for the bottom of number 3 on the cam side is broken. Common in the T series engines. This could be sleeved and all would be right with the world. The id tag was missing when I got this block. I think that this may also work for TB/MGTB, but if you have one you would know better. MGTA was very different and this will not work. TD and TF are, while looking very similar are slightly different. In case you can't make out the casting numbers/letters they are; 24146 3A 39 11KS. It is missing one of the main cap nuts. Still has most of the oil galley plugs and the dummy shaft for the oil pump, but it may need to be replaced. Also, to ship this I will need to make a crate, so....add $50 for crate supplies, tweezers, and band aids. IF, you wanted, you could ship me an empty crate and I will be happy to place the engine block in there and split the empty crate shipping to me! Of course, you can always pick it up here, wait for me to get to Southern California the first week of June. I am occasionally in the SF Bay Area and Sacramento areas, so I could bring it along if you are in those areas. I will even be in Portland before the end of Summer. Too heavy to ship out of the country unless you have a freight forwarder. Please see my other auctions for more British/German/Italian car and motorcycle parts. I will combine shipping when it is feasible.
** A word about shipping/parts
Recently I had 2 packages show up oversea with postage due. Even though I paid all the required postage on my end. This is not my fault. I pay what the post office tells me to pay. While this is isolated, it has happened more than once now. Earlier in the week when I was in the post office shipping a box (almost $155) I was told that there may be more postage due when it gets there. Again, I do not have any control over this.
I also don't have control over transit time or the amount of time customs takes either in the US or in your country when it arrives.
I make the shipping quotes the closest that I can given the item is not boxed until the auction is over. In cases where I under-estimate the shipping cost and it is $5 or less, I pay it. In cases where I over-estimate shipping cost and I charged you more than $5 over shipping cost I refund you difference. In any case I try to ship the next day after the item is paid for. If the item is larger or requires crating or making a custom box or even buying a box it may take a few more days to get it shipped.
I do have control over packaging and the item description. I package it to make it through the handling process of the various shipping companies. I have not had anything damaged in shipping in a long time. I have had stuff lost, but not damaged.
If you feel I have not described something properly, please let me know. I ultimately want you to be happy with the part/parts. If you are not, tell me first. I really am easy to deal with. If you want to talk to me, just ask for my phone number and remember I live on the West Coast for calling times.

One Lap of the Web: The fabulous Lockheed Buick Electra, and how to change a tire
Tue, 25 Feb 2014-- Did you know Zagato once designed some concept cars for Volvo? Ah, there's nothing more romantic than that blend of Italian passion and Swedish melancholic efficiency. The first car came about in 1969 and was named the GTZ, and its obscurity might owe to being hidden in favor of more popular Zagato GTZs.
The Ferrari 250 GTO and TR
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Sitting in a line under the unforgiving rays of the sun was an astonishing sight: A 375MM Ferrari followed by a four-cylinder Ferrari 875 and three of the most famous cars of all: A 250TR, 250GTO and a 250LM, the last car to win Le Mans for Ferrari. They were not roped off, and the enthusiastic but respectful attendees were free to get as close as they wanted to better admire and take photographs of them. But this was only the beginning.
