EPC Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi all Does anyone have a silvertop 2.0 they want rid of!? Complete engine preferable, but bottom end on its own is fine too. Or does anyone know a good place to source one, that's not a scrap yard. Cheers Elliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPC Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi guys The chopping a car thing I've done, was very long winded, but get your point it's cheap. Silvertop is currently in the car, I got told to stick with the same as there are some differences between the 2, I think one is the oil pump location. Like for like seems an easier job. Thanks for the raceline info too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You can use most of what you have on the Silver top on a Black Top. Your current fuel system should work. Starter motor Clutch and Flywheel. Exhaust Engine mounts Alternator Sump these should all fit What you will need is an alternator mounting kit for the Black Top And also the Windage tray will need to be fitted to the blacktop So a Blacktop is still a viable choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your keeping it fairly standard, bar the inlet and exhaust, and perhaps a fast road cam. The latter is even perhaps easier in a silvertop as you don't have to spend ages messing about with re-shimming the tappets. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
