for sale is an rb30/26. i purchased this engine off a member on this forum vlt87, brendan gorman.. this engine came out of his red vl turbo which ran 8.7 i think it was. i have had the engine just sitting on the stand at the workshop and have decided to sell it now as i am moving on to something with a couple more cylinders. the only thing i have done to engine was remove craddle on block for inspection of the bearings.. i also have purchased billet main caps and girdle with all fasteners to perform the change. block would have to be line bored to suit new caps. this will cost about 250 from most machine shops.also have purchased a new billet dry sump bracket. there is no sump with engine as it was sold before i purchased it but i do have a 10mm thick flange to suit the sump to make a aluminium sump up.this motor could not be built for what im asking so if your serious about going fast grab this engine. this is the list of parts for sale Was not used on street everything in great condition and this was a ground up build with everything done right.
