Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 On the look out for the above engine/gearbox combo for "next years" project. (Just don't let WF's Simon know!) Would prefer to avoid "unknown" eBay specials if possible. I'd also rather avoid something in need of immediate tear down/inspection/rebuild if possible, so no stella milages. Need ancillaries - starter, alternator, induction (throttle body/manifold etc), flywheel, clutch and so on. But don't need ecu or ignition barrel/keys/immobiliser bits. For the "right money", might consider a complete car and breaking it my self, but would prefer just the engine/box route if pos.

alexander72 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 gadge - i might be interested in your xe when it comes out....
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 No worries. Will be looking to sell the engine as a complete ready to install package when the time comes. So will be doing a few jobs over winter to optimise both the engine and mapping. (Have some "V" versions of the current QED Q450 cams to go in, along with some lightweight one-piece cam followers). The package will include MBE ecu, Jenvey SF throttle bodies with Caterham air filter cover, custom Simpsons exhaust, dry sump system with tank and all plumbing. Obviously, anything not required in the package, I will then look at moving on separately.
alexander72 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Filfan, are you calling me a vulture so I can come in your class with the scary banana
SteveD Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 wuver give me a bell tomorrow I may have just the engine for you
