12/16/09: Outbid, with a $700.00 bid. That puts it over my $1,000.00 cap after shipping. While this engine might have put us a step or two ahead, losing out does not set us back any. Ray assures me that he has seen enough Triumph engines with stuck rings break free and run that the other engine was not necessary. We will see when we get the car to the shop. As an aside, I just looked up the bore and stroke numbers for the Standard Vanguard 1991cc engine: 83mm x 92mm. Using The Roadster Factory piston and liner set (87mm bore) would yield 2188cc. There are also 86mm (2138cc), 87.5mm (2213cc), and 89mm (2289cc) sets available from other sources. For giggles I did a little more math and found that perfectly square (92x92) yields 2446cc while over square (93x92) yields straight up 2.5 liters.
