Rob Navin Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Need to clear some space in the garage. 2 pinto's need a home ( any body with a boat that you dont want to float away ? these make great anchors ) 1 1600cc X-Flow block ( the finest engine known to man.) 1 1300cc X-Flow block 1 2000e gearbox. All need a loving home before they end up in the skip. Tel 07984 164184 Rob
Gazza Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 Where are you Rob? I could take the 1600 Xflow block as a strategic spare if its 711m and it will stand over-boring. Gary Brighton/Bucks ggd@mm-brig.mottmac.com
Rob Navin Posted January 19, 2003 Author Posted January 19, 2003 Garry. It is a 711 block but Its a 1700. It has got pistons and a cam with it. I am in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Give me a shout if you are still intrested.
Steve Robinson Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 ...boat anchors ... ? Don't like to look backwards Rob, but my boat anchor regularly went quicker that your little red sewing machine last season ! See you three slappers Steve
Rob Navin Posted January 19, 2003 Author Posted January 19, 2003 Steve. you may be able to look backwards but obviously not in colour....my little red sewing machine was cream as far as I recall. Plus its only 1700 not a 2lt so shouldn't you be a lot quicker ? Some one else does share your strange beliefs and the Pinto's and the gearbox have gone. Not going to 3's slappers cos I break things whenever I go there !!!
neilwillis Posted January 20, 2003 Posted January 20, 2003 Are either of the Pinto Heads converted to unleaded? A friend of mine is looking for one for his Marlin. I'm sure he will take the whole lump if one does.
Rob Navin Posted January 20, 2003 Author Posted January 20, 2003 This could turn into the 8 valve alternitaive to the VX - Zetec debate.
MIKEASHTON Posted January 28, 2003 Posted January 28, 2003 Hey Bobby Boy (AKA Navin 'Ca Ching' Motorsport) You finally had a tally up of your expenses, and realise you need to off load some old junk to pay your bills. After having a good old nosey round your car the other day, I've spotted some area's of improvement / lightening that I'll consult with you on. For a fee.
Rob Navin Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 Thanks for that Mike I look forward to the advice. Can you keep it cheap, as you point out I'm working to a lesser budget than yourself. Not getting rid of the stuff for the need for cash ( But it's always nice) but I cant get round the Escort to work on it properly ( Selling spares is easier than a diet! ) and I have just lost the last garage I can borrow for the road car. Unles you have got space in yours that you can let me use. Just making the final deiscion on class now before I send the entry in..... oh what to do....
Rob Navin Posted January 28, 2003 Author Posted January 28, 2003 I don't want to seem competitive Mike but I have just notices that you are one post ahead of me on the board this must make us even
