    The Answer!!

    Chaps,

    I just found out from Ted that since it's a L X code engine it has to be a '65 and not a '66 otherwise it would be an M X code engine. :Dou:

    so guess what colour it has to be to be correct - yes!! GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN !!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    So it's off to see Bill.

    Thanks all for the help
    best regards
    Nick

    65gs76limited,

    Fortunately I now have the 6 peice engine/ motor mount/ frame pad set. Not cheap or lightweight but looks pretty bulletproof.

    Next focus is rebuilding the bottom half of the engine and getting it in.

    Best regards & thanks
    Nick
