Danwedges Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 So today I fixed my overdrive which is now working flawlessly but unfortunately after only a handful of miles my engine has decided to bite the bullet and will certainly need rebuilding My current engine is a 2500 pi engine running twin hif44 carbs so ideally would like to replace it with another 2500 but would consider any 2000 engine As well if anyone has one lieing around that they'd part with for some money's I intend on rebuilding my current engine anyways but for quickness would like a 1 in 1 out to retain use of the car whilst rebuilding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynebaby Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Dan, The TSSC Facebook feed has a post today from Chris Beresford who has a 2500S engine and gearbox he wants to sell. It's been out of the car for three years and stored outside under a cover. Might be worth a look. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danwedges Posted April 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Sounded like it threw a con rod bolt and now the full thing is seized solid Any ideas what price he is looking for for the 2500s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynebaby Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hi Dan, He hasn't given a price yet (despite three people asking for this via comments) Looking at the pictures I get the impression that the cover wasn't waterproof since the engine looks a bit furry.

Colin Lindsay Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 If the interior is oily, it may have survived the elements ok with the rust solely on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
