    1959 SWB Basic "Madge" repower with early 2.25l

    it has begun in earnest !

    dropping in a 61 vintage 2.25l in and i have a 59 2.25l sitting in wait for a rebuild.

    would have happened today but need to get a new welch plug for the back of the block.

    need to track a couple things including a decent solex but have most of the parts to see it thru...

    about time too!

    I was just going to say, if you still need a solex, I can send you one of my spares. But it looks like you're all set.
