WTB Early 1.7L Case Options

[JimVG]

Looking for an early virgin 1.7L engine case with no previous non-factory machine work or damage/repairs.

I don't have a W block to compare my cases with.

I watched his video on blocks and when he got to the section about register thickness mine does NOT have the depression like the GC blocks he showed.

The casting directly in this area is flat on my GA. The less desirable blocks seemed to have a depression in this area.

Maybe the Ws are even thicker at this point.

This is the video in question.

My GA block looks like the 1.7 case at the 3:00 minute mark.

It does not look like the GC show at 3:55.

I just used a caliper on my block. It is 30mm think at the center point between the bores. I do not believe it's been machined before.
It "looks" the same thickness as his W block at the 3-minute point.

I remember watching his video and thinking "missed a bullet there that I wasn't aware of".
