i have one in my parts car..

don't know what condition it is in though.. it ran when i bought the car, but i never tested it since..

the guy said it had forged pistons and conrods, but he lied about everything else regarding the car, so i doubt it haha.. i'm actually one step away from pulling the head off..

if you want it, make me an offer, and i won't pull the head off..

still has tc05 turbo and eci throttle body injection.. will include these if needed.

mind you, you will probably need to pull it out of the car yourself, as it will take me weeks to do this on my own, and i don't currently have an engine crane :shock:

I know of & have seen a rebuilt engine in BRISBANE with a chemicaly cleaned & honed block ,balance shafts removed ,new rings& bearings ,new water pump & cam belts & a recoed head for $1200
This is an engine that I would buy if I needed a stocker knowing who built it

I'm in Sydney and was putting on the timing belts today. the engine is now ready to go. i have ECI manifold also. I was going to put it in my scorpion soon, but now might be moving to queensland cos old fart convinced me. . . you know, as "old fart" said. why are we still here if Sydney is overrated. LOL. So I'm off. ha ha ha

So i might be having to clear some stuff out.

The engine has chemically cleaned block and crank, honed cylinders, new rings, bearings, linished crank, machined head that is in good nick, reco'ed recently so didn't need one, new water pump, tensioners and belts. i kept the balance shafts though.

Make me an offer. i can install engine too if needed. Don't know whether or not i am going and should sell the engine, but i if a good offer comes along, i will. as I'm desperate for money at the moment. Be quick too as I'm going to QLD mid next week and might be staying, so i will need to know by then.
