Just an EOI at the moment guys.. im screwing the engine together next week when i get the last parts, originally going to fit in my vl but have since sold the car so the engine has to go! Basic rundown: *A8 Block, Acid dipped, tunnel bored, bored 40thou, crack tested etc *Machined and linished crank, chemically cleaned and grub screwed, balanced with crank collar fitted. *Shot peened vl rods, closed and honed, ARP rod bolts, new little end bearings *40thou over ACL race series forged pistons, Mahle Piston rings *ACL main, big and little end bearings *ARP main and head studs *New water pump, Shimmed RB25 oil pump *All new gaskets, welsh plugs, front and rear seals *Comes with NA head, complete in good condition, will also supply brand new Cometic Head Gasket. * Comes with timing belt and tensioner, Good dizzy and Top gun 10mm leads, good viscous hub and fan, polished rocker cover motor,starter, alternator and heaps of odds and ends, will also throw in a 3 core rad and whatever RB30 stuff i have! Now i have receipts for a few of the things, a mate of mine runs and engine machine shop so it was done off the books! also have a mate at repco! Engine is being assembled by myself (Can supply my Mechanics licence number for serious enquiries!) ALl clearances thoroughly checked, all torqued to specs and assembly lube used! Im willing to sell with the head and sump off teh block so people can see exactly what is done, and nothing is hidden, or i can bolt it together, up to you. Will also deliver to syd or Melb (or in between) for free!! asking price is $4000 which is a damn cheap built turbo engine It has NEVER been started, and will handle anywhere up to 400kw, change the rods and make some more. WILL ONLY TRADE FOR A SET OF 15x4 CONVO PROS IN FORD PATTERN PLUS CASH! OTHERWISE DONT ASK!! Will post some pics next week of the build process pm me or call/sms [phone removed]
