Ciprian Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Im after a standard crossflow 1600 GT engine that i could use for a Formula Ford car. Would be looking to get it profesionally rebuilt by the likes of Bold. Priced depending on state and running order but the engine needs to be standard. What have you got?

Pantherman Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Try having a look on the Turbosport forum, they often turn up on there. I have an engine in with Neil Bold for a rebuild he has a great reputation in the FF world,I am lucky as he's just up the road from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciprian Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 that engine that didnt sell on ebay is not commercialy viable to be made into a FF engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plays-Kool Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I have one that i'll be removing out of my narrow car. Only problem is I don't know if its standard or not. I'll have a read through the paperwork I got with the car and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciprian Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 the more reading i do the more complicated it sounds to make a conversion from a standard car to a FF1600 engine. basically most of the engines on road cars have been modified one way or another, making it almost imposible to make the conversion back on the cheap.
