Low mileage 220/420/820 NASP T16 block

Hey guys,
I have been advised that for my rebuild (M16 pistons/rods), I should opt for a low mileage NASP block, rather than getting a (higher mileage) turbo block which will have much more wear in the bores...
So does anyone have a low mileage T16 NASP block, from a 220/420/820...?
Just to re-iterate, for those who didn't see my last post - Bores need to be in VERY GOOD CONDITION, ie. no scratches or oval bores, as I do not have the option of re-boring...
Preferably just the block (ie. no internals), although please let me know whatever you have...
Anyone got anything..?
Many thanks,
Dom

Just to give you a bit of leeway , its usually quite possible to re hone a turbo block thats seen better days and maintain the standard size ( re hone less than 2 thou usually )
I have done this numerous times, you get a perfect bore finish and if you use new piston rings they will still need filing to suit as they will almost certainly be too big, theres "quite" a bit of room for a slightly worn bore.
As long as the bore isnt big enough to casue piston slap you can also use oversized rings gapped appropriately.

I have a T16 NASP done 127K. Was running fine when I took it out. If you want the bottom end for a few beer tokens and can collect it its yours.
I'm in Midsomer Norton which is near Bath.

Many thanks "1994 BRG Coupe" -
Unfortunately I require something low-mileage if I'm going to go down this route...
Looks like Cableguy says a rebore might be possible, but looks like I'm not helping myself by having to spec a block around the pistons/rods...
If anyone here has got a low-mileage block, please let me know...
Thanks,
Dom

no use to you but someone reading, you can re-bore then liner the block down to the right size.
