It looks like a "bossless" block, either a Vanguard or a very early 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Looks like Vanguard 6 to me. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 The mount boss IS there, on the right hand side, under the exhaust manifold. And there is something there on the left, a square bos with a cast-in 'strut' beneath it. None of the corners of the bosses are drilled for bolts. Has anyone asked the seller for the engine number? I will. John PS in contrast, "GT6 Mk3" short engine for sale, brand new!

JohnD Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 No idea, not my market. For a brand new engine, that doens't sound too bad. JOhn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave.vitesse Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Re the short engine costs, look at the cost of recon engines as a point of reference. But, you would have to factor in the cost of a GT6 Mk111/Late 2000 head. Not a bad price. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Well a re con from the club (I don't think includes the head) is over 3K, I think, so if those are as new (maybe seals need replacing), then pos good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
