somersetdub 0 Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Due to a new engine, my old one is now for sale. It's a 1993 ABV engine and was running well before removal. In cold weather it tended to be a bit rattly first thing, but the performance was good and it didn't smoke. It is just the bare engine and cylinder head and I have swapped the upper timing chain cover to allow my new engine to run coil pack. The engine has covered just over 140k, but did have a rebuild at 90k - I have the invoice for this. Collection only from Merriott, Somerset £100 Thanks Edited September 14, 2013 by somersetdub Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon 0 Posted September 1, 2013 Any chance of sorting out delivery mate as mines on its last legs I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon 0 Posted September 1, 2013 Oh sorry is this engine running coil pack ? As km after a straight swap over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted September 1, 2013 It's not going to be easy for me to send it, that's why I put collection only I'm afraid. I have also priced it low to allow for someone to come and collect it. It was a coil pack engine, but I have removed the upper timing chain cover and the magnetic pick up on the end of the cam for my new engine. Meaning it is now basically dizzy spec, although obviously it could be converted back to coil pack by swapping parts again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted September 4, 2013 Bump I also have a late 2.8 vr6 engine which I no longer need - when I bought it, it was sold as having 80 odd thousand miles, but I have no proof and I haven't heard it running. The gearbox was at fault apparently. Also £100 collected Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted September 8, 2013 Bump £100... Perfect for a rebuild/spares etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted September 14, 2013 Bump.. Willing to split the engine if anyone wants any parts... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted October 20, 2013 Bump, will be scrapping this engine soon if no one wants it.. Which would be a shame! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.C 10 Posted October 20, 2013 I'm sorry to hear this, old ABV engines should be cherished, however saying that , if you do scrap it can you sell me the rocker cover with engine number sticker, I've got a 24v which I'd like to disguise as a 12V to get into Australia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dox 23 Posted October 21, 2013 I'm interested but undecided at the moment, its a 400 mile around trip........ I'd be travelling alone, do you have provision to get the engine into the back of an estate car? They're a heavy lump at best Do you have a pic of the engine as it currently stands? Its not outside in the weather with no manifolds on or spark plugs in place is it (rusty bores?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somersetdub 0 Posted October 21, 2013 Hi there, the engine is in a dry shed currently, so no worries about water ingress. The only thing I have to move it with is an engine crane... Which may or may not work with putting it an estate car. You can have it for £50 if you come and collect it, would rather it goes to someone who might get some use out of it! As for pictures, there is one on my build thread, if you want more, let me know and I'll take some.. It just looks like a dirty old vr6 engine though basically! Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
