I recently removed the sump from my '69 1600 GT capri project to desludge it and discovered a crack in the block so I'm looking for a genuine Capri 1600 GT engine to replace it with.  Any help would be much appreciated

What are the cast numbers on the side of the block?  I may be able to help.

Anyone??

Are you chasing a block or a complete motor?

Either really, depends what people have got

The GT motor in a '69 (correct me if i'm wrong) would be a std block either 681 or 691 casting with the go faster add ons the 711 came out in '70 according to the Burton power site ( http://www.burtonpower.co...flow-tuning-guide.html )
if you get a Kent block you should be able to use the bits out of your old motor. I have 2 681 bare blocks and a 691 complete motor that needs work but I am probably to far away, having said that the blocks are common, 711 being the most sort after and also available new.
