Question What to do?? Give me your input.

Right, I have an open deck block sitting on my garage floor in need of a new home.

Should I
A. Rebuild using standard internal?
B. Rebuild using Tyron's spec c piston and rods and new crank?
C. Rebuild as a 2.1?

Or if anyone is after a new bottom end I can build it to any spec.

Building it on standard internals may be easier to shift.

You bloody grave robber.

I wouldn't bother going down the 2.1 route with an ODB.

Perhaps option A or B looks like the best choices.

God knows You're probably looking at £750 - £1000, the stuff you turn out is clean and tidy so it should reach top dollar.

Rebuild with Ty's pistons etc would be a good block

There have been a few engines let go recently so maybe good for people on a budget

Would depend on what your plans were for the engine but option b would be a good middle ground.
