Hi all
Frank - whatever you do don't chuck them. I think they are from a MM motor modified for a boat motor. Check with Mike Perry to find out. I'm sure lots of guys would love to get their hands on them.

One is the magneto and the other is the water pump with the rev counter drive. The block is no use in a car as it is a different design. Do you have any more photos of the engine and bits?[frame]Image[/frame]
