I got my haynes manual out, (hunter, rapier) It says the 1500 has flat top pistons and the con rods are longer for some reason.
LOL can't be doing it any good!!!!
What do you reckon?
new block, with old crank, pistons, cam and flywheel.
Hone, new rings, and big end and main bearings at a minimum???

Thought you would say that, I was on speedys website pricing up pistons etc
Measure the stroke to confirm the CC 
If you do get it bored go to the max o/size for the most cubes
Carbs do look nice [8D]

Prop shaft off. Gearbox off. Engine disconnected and ready to lift out. No engine crane though. Might get some buddies round tomorrow and hump it out.

Productive day.
The engine is out. I managed to manhandle it out with the help of a good friend. Got the engine stripped and this is what I found:
My concern is that the crank is a bit scored too, and I am praying that the scoring will grind out. THe pistons and bores are in good nick actuially, so I will look into getting the block honed and new piston rings.
I then went to get the coreplug out at the flywheel end...I scraped through the cud, to find that there was no core plug to speak of. Fuurther inspection led me to find the ring bit, but the middle had rotted away. This wasn't leaking thuogh, only because the block was that cocked up with silt that the silt had created a watertight seal. managed to get this scraped back so water gets to cylinders 4 and 3.
All good fun!!!!!
