    Default Used Engine

    Just putting some feelers out.

    Is there any club member that has a used engine that is for sale cheap. We are in the process of repairing Phil's old car and the engine is a bit sick.... It has a new automatic gearbox already.

    Part assembled is fine as I can always use bits from either.

    New one available Dom...if he'll split engine / gearbox the price might become reasonable?

    I have a short block (block and rotating assembly) sitting in my garage doing nothing, and a pair of heads. Not exactly a complete engine, but probably the bits mist likey to be damaged on yours from the little I've read on it. Let me know if these bits turn out to be of use.

    It was the car that was written off initially due to water damage (Cat-B) but reclassified by insurer and brought back from Ireland to be saved......
