Type 9 to Rover 1.8k vvc engine

[TommyP]

Hi, I'm looking for a few bits and pieces to mate up a type 9 ford 5 speed box to a Rover K series 1.8 VVC engine so I will need the following to start with.
A bellhousing to mate the two together.
A 10" flywheel from a 1.4 or 1.6 k series.
If you have one of the above for sale (especially the bellhousing)or if you know anyone who has, please let me know.
Cheers
Tom

Hi, I know where there is a 1.8 k series with a type 9 bolted to it, its sat on my friends garage floor!
He's doing nothing with it as the shell it was going in has now been sold. I have discussed selling it with him and to be honest I was supposed to advertise it on a few forums for him but haven't got round to it yet. I think he'd want it to go as a package though.
From memory the engine is complete less the carb/injection but would have to check.
It was going in a MKII escort and was going to be supercharged. It was taken from a low mileage car and in good order. We've never run it though and have no docs to back this up.
If you want me to get some pictures / more details let me know, it may take me a couple of days as I don't get round that often.
Have a think and if your interested let me know / make him an offer, like I say I'm pretty sure he'd want it to go as a package but it would depend on the offer. I haven't got a clue what its all worth or what he'll accept but from my own recent experience I know (unless your very lucky) you won't get a type 9 for less than £100 as thats the surcharge they pay on recons and the bellhousings cost about £250 depending where you buy them.
Cheers

H Andy we spoke about this I think and I only want the bellhousing. If Mike wants the package let him have it. Thanks Tom
