Quinten Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Removed from my car today to make way for a Zetec upgrade. I've personally done 15K miles with it, but can not confirm the total mileage as the speedo has been replaced a couple of years back and the mileage was not transferred. Engine history also unknown, but I am led to believe it is completely standard (no cams/headwork/etc). Here's a video with the engine being started from cold: And here's a video taken when I have just arrived at work after a 40 mile journey: And finally, some pictures taken today after it was lifted out of my car: The engine comes with the exhaust manifold (4 to 1, not pictured), and (if you want it) an exhaust which I got with my Zetec (but it needs welding). On the other side are twin Dellorto DHLA 40s with fairly new Ramair filters. I'm leaving the clutch/flywheel on the engine, but I still have to remove the bell housing cover plate as I'll be keeping that. The engine does not owe me anything, but the carbs and manifold are still worth something... so make me an offer Collection only from Northampton please.
