I have said before on a post "Joel is one really top youngster, any dad would be proud of." My 2 boys are 32 & 27, so proud of them!
Well done Joel.
When I was 18 I had a morris minor 1000, one saturday nite cruising (don't laugh) I split the top off a piston, sunday morning up to the bmc wrecker at greenacre, second hand piston, couple rings & by 5pm sunday, back on the road. That's the great thing about old cars, so so good to work on.

I have seen those old 4 blade fans crack near the hub along a similar line to where yours broke.  The first one I saw was on my '68 Firebird (around 1982) .  It had cracked about 2/3 rds of the way through before I noticed it.  Luckily, I swapped it out with another used fan that probably had a trillion miles on it that I got from the wrecker.

Sally, first you say you had a Morris Minor and then you say don't laugh - you can't have it both ways!:gotya:

It is that instant throttle responsivness and almighty torque of that 200 ci that did it.
Better check your engine mounts because they will be next and when they go they will do the exact same damage.
I am glad you fixed it without calling me.
Well done grasshopper.

While you had the engine out did you bore and stroke it, I'm pretty sure you could get 600 cubes out of it?
Or if you decide to throw out the engine, I could always use it for a squirter window washer motor?:gotya:

Seriously though...good on ya for havn a go!
