Quinten Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Bit of a long shot, but if anyone has one, or knows of one that is for sale, then please let me know. 1

I'm sure I've seen two recently. Pretty sure one was on Facebook. I'll try and find them Is it the actual engine you want or a car with that set-up?
joolz Posted August 5 Posted August 5 there was one from an MG V8 complete with gearbox and other stuff for 1500 pounds the other day, so cheap I suspect it's been snapped up because I can't find it now.

Yes, I missed out on that one unfortunately. 3 minutes ago, Flying Carrot Steve said: https://ebay.us/m/SieZja The listing says "sold in need of basic strip and check over". I really need a running engine, otherwise I can just rebuild my current one. There is no such thing as a cheap rebuild though, hence looking for a complete running engine. 56 minutes ago, Flying Carrot Steve said: I'm sure I've seen two recently.

I'm not looking for a car, the engine is all I need to replace my sickly 3.9 SEiGHT engine...

Might be a good time for a good rebuild I'm always wary of used engines, you never know how they have been used or the internals state... If it's not broken, a good cylinder hone and new rings are all you need.
Quinten Posted August 5 Author Posted August 5 I'm also wary of a used engine, but a rebuild will be at least £3-4K and that is before you discover anything untoward once you open the engine up.
Dommo Posted August 5 Posted August 5 I've got one that's not been up to much in the last 4 years. It's one of the very last of the line with the cross bolted block and whatnot. It is attached to a Discovery 2 though... always a caveat!
