That is seriously sketch...engine number filed off.

I recon buy a notch top then bud and hope for the best. If it fails then rebuild it properly.

I wouldn't mind the block if you want rid of it, looking for a nice small engine block as a table base.

The car was running fine, wasn't losing oil or water, until I went to JHB and back

Yeah, sometimes the car struggled to start, one night driving it just died on me, next day I started it and went directly to the mechanic driving slowly, was making a knocking sound and was almost cutting out when coming to a stop. but I made it there.
