G'day Gareth,

I've got a bare grey motor crashbox casing that may suit you. It's L490808 (later than L441345) and a G288 date code. It's located in Greystanes, western Sydney. Yours for free provided you pay the postage on it or pick it up. I can bundle it up for a courier if needs be.

PM sent with email contact details.

Cheers,
Harv

No drama. The only other L-code box I have here (D month) is a 1958 box too.

Good luck with the search.

Cheers,
Harv

 Hi Gareth.  I have a complete grey motor with gearbox, starter, generator, radiator & hoses.The motor was taken from the Wagon I restored for the Mt Gambier Nats. The vehicle was a one owner, I purchased from a Deceased Estate.  I drove the wagon prior to removing this motor.  Engine No. L529528  I am situated in Byron Bay NSW. I also have 2 other grey motor gearboxes, front-ends etc,etc,etc,.... which all have to go as I am relocating to a Suburban Block.  I can send photos if you are interested.   Cheers  Kevin. [old-blu ].

Thanks old-blu, yes very interested, could you please either forward photos of the casting clocks or a description of the clocks, im looking for  either a G or H clock code (July- August), I have friends at Golden Sands so could get them picked up, thanks, Gareth.

 Will send photos. I also have a reconditioned block only, rebored , new cam bearings,no mains or head. No L624526. I intended to use this motor in a future restoration, however, we found that the mains had been shimmed at some stage by a "cowboy mechanic". It was easier to do another motor than chase around for mains & then have the bottom end line bored.   I have since sold the crank from this motor. The complete motor has matching casting clocks @ 9'0,clock and block L624526 has the casting clock @ 4'0 Clock.  Please send me your email address. My contact No is 0266847280. Cheers old-blu.

the codes I talk about are next to the clock, there should be four digits (letters and numbers) Im looking for a G or H, the reco block sounds good, I hope the code fits.
