Want to buy a working and complete MM side valve engine and a MM gearbox. Please send a mail if you can help me with this. I´m in UK (Suffolk) beginning of June.

There are two versions of the Series MM engine, USHM2 and USHM3, which do you want?
Please send me details of the car for the register

The correct engine for your car is the later USHM3. This engine has an aluminium water jacket with the dynamo bracket attached, a thermostat housing and a blanking plate or water pump. It can be used either as thermo-syphon or water pump circulation.
That is a new car on my list, could you please PM me your contact details

I have a opportunity to buy a MM engine that needs to be rebuild. It it possible to find new parts such as valves, valve springs, piston/rings, bearings, gasket sets etc?

Yes, all parts are available with a bit of searching. Are you a MMOC member?

We have several new parts for the MM engine in the club stocks. Heard from your friend in Kings Lynn about the gearbox. He is coming to see me in May.
