Or maybe this is more like it after christmas. Still good for a project engine though.

:lol: You could but not with that kind of power :dc:

For a few grand more you could by a Cup F/TF all ready to go.

What sort of power would that give you? Not that I have the money of course but was wondering what sort of gains the £3250 would give you.

I would expect around 180 - 200 bhp, but it is strange that they haven't put even an estimated output.

Hardly seems worth it when you can get a 160 for about £750 ish would hope for over 200BHP for the money does seem strange that no figures are given I for one wouldnt part with 160 trophy money for an un tested Engine.

To be honest it would be worth it just for the bits used. Price them up seperately if you don't believe me.

true but shiny engine parts are just shiny engine parts unless they blow the world away once its fired up... £3000+ is a bit insane really... a Honda K20a engine would be around 2, 2 and a half and thats 200+bhp as standard :dunno:

i'd be interested to know why so much time and money has been spent on a half complete engine thats now for sale?

That is alot of money, but then if you were to look at the QED menu you would see why! I would expect there to be in excess of 200bhp for that money and for something that is probably a risk buy as it has not been run at all. Then you would be looking to modify the loom and remove the ecu and immobiliser if keeping carbs. Would be nice to hear twin DCOE's again! I miss the twin 48's I ran on my HSX Chevette!

used to have twin webbers on my 1275 engined mini, coupled to a straight through exhaust i fashioned out of 2" scaffy tube and you can imagine the grin it put on my face

was very civilized when cruising, i remember being on my way to college and sat at the zebra crossing outside the school near me, a few chavs laughed at me in my little mini... one blip of the throttle and they looked quite impressed lol - philistines
