sadly due to rust this old engine of 1971 vintage will never again chug the waterways of this country
Might just buy this one and accept the challenge

I know the feeling. Much nicer to save one that buy a good runner with little to do.
Nice 102 with a clutch. Trying to find out engine number

Just bought an untested spares or repair silver century but it does turn top and bottom

above ebay motor is a 102 with a clutch 1947 AC2987. If I wasn't 500 miles form Wales I'd be after it. Even though it has the wrong prop.

.......caution the totally rusted out water jacket on the cylinder block? Unless you have a spare 102 Silver Century block it won't chug any waterway! And as we know there are way more rusted out basket case Silver Century blocks than available spare blocks........
