B.RAD Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Edit: dry sump setup still available, everything else now sold. As I am on to pastures new, it is time to pass on the mighty crossflow collection that I have gathered. List below, photos available on request. All prices exclude postage, obviously the engines and cylinder heads would need to be collected. Dry sump set up: Pace oil tank, Titan 5 port dry sump pump, Piper dry sump pan, remote oil filter. Over £1000 worth of dry sump setup. Will include all pipework etc although you may wish to change this to suit your routing. £offersEngines: Rebuilt 711m short block, just bored and honed by Headline MK to plus 90thou to make it a 1700. 1300 pistons (for higher compression, takes it from 9:1 to 10.5:1), standard conrods and crank (crank reground +10thou), Kent 234 cam, single vernier timing gear. 3 fresh coats of black engine enamel. Cost me £500 in parts and machining so just looking to recover that cost. Will provide a brand new set of gaskets and covers etc if needed. £500 Rebuilt 711m short block, rebuilt 800 miles ago with 1300 pistons (10.5:1 compression ratio), standard conrods, crank reground +30thou, Vegantune VT2 (same as Kent 244) cam, duplex vernier timing gear and chain. Made 130bhp at Northampton Motorsports in June this year. Available in September (currently in car) £500 711m engine block, bored out +90thou and skimmed but this was before my time, so I would suggest checking for tolerance before building up £50 Cylinder Heads etc:Big valve cylinder head, exhaust and inlet ported (very large), just had new guides fitted and a skim at Headline MK at a cost of £180 (head and valves only), will paint black or red as preferred! £200 Big valve cylinder head, exhaust and inlet ported, double valve springs, steel post rockers, checked by Headline MK 800 miles ago and confirmed to be in great condition. Fresh black enamel paint. £275 Standard 1600 cylinder head, complete, looks good but I haven't tested it £100 Rocker set with steel posts £40 Rocker cover with two breather vent caps £20 Cams, cranks and timing gears:1600GT cam with matched 711m followers £25 Brand new Piper BP270 fast road cam with matched brand new single springs £100 Good spare 1600 crank £20 Standard timing gear and chain £5 Ancillaries:Distributer (vac type) complete £10 Water pump x 2 £5 each Oil pump x 2 £5 each Mechanical fuel pump x 2 £5 each Standard alternator (untested) £10 Starter motor £10 Any questions feel free to ask!Cheers Barny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.RAD Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Cheers Christian, you could always upgrade your motor you know Take the prices above and add 20% for mates rates If the blocks don't sell, I'm still tempted to take Phil up on his offer of maching a flat 8 out of them!! Can you imagine?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellski Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 30% and we would have had a deal Flat 8, now that would be something special but just think of the oil consumption!! I'm sure they won't be around for very long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
