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 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago 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 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago 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 24 minutes ago Posted 24 minutes ago 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!
