Started buying bits to rebuild this to go in my 74 clubman estate project which i recently sold. I plan to go 16v in my other project so this is no longer required. The engine was running when I got it, I only planned to rebuild it for reliability. Built it up in order to sell because not everyone has the equipment or ability to build an engine themselves.
Available to buyer at additional cost:
- Refurb HIF44 carb
- Alloy inlet manifold
- LCB exhaust manifold with new Y-piece
(£100 for these if bought with engine)
- Tim Oil pressure gauge with T-piece (new)
(£25 if bought with engine)
