1835 VW crankcase, magnafluxed & ground crank with Peacock prop hub, 1835 Cima pistons, rings and barrels. Full Peacock chain-drive SR4 mag assembly, minus the chain, which has never turned since being manufactured. The rest of the stuff was going to be found new or reconned. There are also 2 sets of recon heads but one hasn't got the extra plug holes and is still 1600cc.
For some reason I have also found 2 sets of very fancy bobbin mounts for a VW.
A full set of instruments that look as if they came from a heavy bomber from the 1940s, a set of FRED wings and every bit of FRED metalwork.

Ian has first dibs on a lot of these bits.
