Anyone have a cerb 4.2 ajp kicking around.....
Discussion
There was somebody on ebay who was selling a car (can't remember what it was off the top of my head) but he had bought an AJP engine for it but never got around to doing the converison...........was willing to split them. I have a look later to see if I can find the add again..........might have been a Lotus or something cos I remember him talking about rebuilding a Lotus Turbo lump.
From the sounds of it, this chappy has a spare 4.5

It's all a case of weighing it up really.
My budget is £1500 over what I pay for the car for an engine...that would include all the bits to sort it as well. A mate and I will do the rebuilding so no labour costs.
It's just a case of seeing what sort of project pops up first, I would like a cerb, but can't guarantee it.
Just for a hoot I rang bell hill garage to see if they had any knackered lumps there, the answer was obviously no, but did say they would relieve me of £4000 for a reconditioned engine....I'm not saying that was prohibitively expensive but hence why I have to remain realistic really.
That's a bit sensible for me....

Very good spot, shame it's not in this country, ta though... It's a good thought BCA but I'll have to stick to budget really. I'll keep my feelers out.
Thanks.
The original engine apparently is fine apart from the main bearing....I have to confirm this, and in which case it'll be apart and rebuilt in a jiffy....but.....that's if the engine is where it should be as it was sent off for 'investigation'
