Would like to see it going but there you are expensive engine with nice replacment parts what you think?

Steve Mochans engine isn't it.

Doubt it would put 700 hundred out, but it would certainly be enough - very good price too (if it sells for about 3k).

Is this the same engine that was found in a field by the Police after it was stolen?

Erm yes :ohmy:

Ah yes its Steve's engine I should have known that by the ebay name, hope he gets a good price for it.

Its 700hp capable yes. Somebody could get themselves an absolute bargain there , although Im not sure what its exact current status is, and its an untested engine.

Don't look too healthty on its side

Worth it for the parts I think but surely it'll need a rebuild as a matter of course.

No reflection on the previous rebuild of course, just with it having been stolen and then found in a field, God knows what has worked its way in there.

 

For the right price however, it would be a good buy for someone

Anyone know who did the engine rebuild?

I'll take the turbos if anyone wants the rest :)

Good luck to Steve on this...... hope it fetches good money.

Well, took the plunge (and a bit of a gamble maybe) but after speaking with Steve several times I went ahead and bought his engine :lol:

 

It is now tucked up in my garage

 

 

 

 

the only damage that I can find is this bent pipe,

 

 

I hope to be able to strip the main parts down, just out of curiosity then once I have all new gaskets and seals I'll be sending it to a professional to be buit back up. It will be sometime before it gets into my car, as I need to save for a better clutch, prop and TB's and Emerald map etc. :thumbup1:

 

Any other items I may have missed guys?

good gamble, worth rebuilding, it was sat at a "specialist's" for a long time and wouldnt be suprised if they did something to the engine

 

your gonna have a great car with that motor stuck in it, just a pity steve didnt have it running himself

 

look forward to the build mate

Will be a beast when its finished :drool:

Nice one mate keep us posted on how you get on:thumbup1:
