A cast barrel' taken off 'a TV 200 engine has just gone for £510 on e bay. No port spec or anything on the description . Am I missing something here....

No mate i dont think your missing anything.
The person who bought it for that price is though.....half a brain i would say.

No number stub off manifold area?

Not from the photo's. No notches on the top fin gives it a plus point. All I run is cast 200's one jet spec &one TV 200 spec.. hence keeping a lookout for similar barrels..but I was shocked at the price paid for this item.

Indeed.

Please excuse my ignorance but whats the benefit of this type of Barrell?
Is it better porting?
Or is it so that it can run with standard tv gearing etc.
Surely that sort of money would be better spent on a more up dated cylinder kit.
Gt cylinder kit etc.

FFS...there you go, talking common sense again... stating perfectly reasonable facts. Why would you do that? There’s always one!

For me I am building a standard 200 and it would have been nice to have an original barrel he was selling the matching head as Well but that's just crazy
