The last block I used had some rust in the bore. I removed most with the hone, but clearly not enough or I went too far. I have low compression on that cylinder.
I want a block I can transfer everything to without extra work.
It's for a Minari that I want as a track car.
The 1700 would be interesting in the future but I am not ready for that yet!

Hope you find what you are after.
Worst case is you could get that bore sleeved?

Re: Anyone got a 1500 block?
If there are a good source of 1700 parts available, you could build the 1600cc screamer?
Most who did it, liked it, and i'm sure LouLou can probably explain it and supply it!

Re: Anyone got a 1500 block?
Funny you should mention that Shrew. I’m actually thinking of reworking the 1500 (1525) I built in to a 1600. It’ll actually be 1634 as the 1500 is 85mm (1 mm OS)

Re: Anyone got a 1500 block?
What mixture of parts = 1600 screamer? Sounds interesting.

87mm bore - 1700 pistons, - with a 1500 ( 67.2mm stroke ) crank, - the 145 / 146 1.6 boxer engines did it the other way, with 84mm bore and 72mm ( 1700 ) crank, - short stroke = revs !
If you still need a 1500 block I'm sure I will have one, - let me know if you do.
Cheers, John.

I get the 'screamer'. Interesting idea. I will stick with the 1500 for now.
John. I am still interested in a 1500 block if you have one?
