Title: 69 113 Long Block Exchange
Post by: zanone on September 03, 2005, 08:57:16

Restoring my white/dark red Pagoda starting with a long block from Metric Motors. IP exchange from Hans and surface rust repair before new gas tank goes on. My neighbor Bob Possel has been a big help and any other comments by group members will be appreciated and passed on to my mechanic. Will add finished photos to this website.

Zanone you could of had Metric rebuild your existing engine for the same price.  Might be something to consider if your engine is the original.
