So, I picked up this old 1.7 MHA engine off eBay.
Engine number MHAXJ19096
£10.50 for an engine, gearbox and some driveshafts.
Gonna be rough for sure, been left out doors under a tarpaulin and some tyres so I figured it’s worth it just for salvageable spares.
The cracked sump suggested my fears were well founded but as I took it apart things started to change.
Cams are perfect, head is good - crack tested ok so I’ll port and flow it. The flywheel has gone for machining but the block - oh my.
Showing insignificant wear and it’s nice and tight so this looks like I’ll build it up into a fast road motor...

Bloody lucky really... :)
