  Hi all, I know the combustion chambers are a slightly different shape, but will a 7 head work on an 1850 block, as a quick and dirty stopgap until I can get the '7 engine done?  Thanks, Tim.

  I'm near Windsor, but travel isn't a problem, thanks.

  Hi, anyone got a Dolly Sprint axle for sale or exchange for an 1850 one? Have an inkling that my newly acquired 1850 may end up Sprinted...!!

  Hi all, newby to the forum, having accidentally been brought back to the fold having run 1850's and Sprints back in the '80's. Just bought a late 1850 for its overdrive gearbox, but on seeing the car, I want to keep it- it's a really, REALLY solid 'shell, with none of the normal rust anywhere, except in the back doors. Seriously the best Dolly shell I've seen since back in the day...   It was sold with a head gasket problem, and having just removed the head, suspiciously easily...!!! (no seized bolts, even the studs came out relatively easily with the 2 nut method) I discover a big chunk of metal missing between the waterway and cyls 3 and 4...   Just wondered if anyone has a spare head for sale, or knows of a reputable place to have it welded/skimmed?   Also, is the head the same as a TR7's- I MAY have a 7 engine stuck in the garage from a V8 conversion I did years ago... I'll post some pictures of this little gem once the poxy rain stops..!!!
