Hi guys - my HG is on the way out and the engine seems like it is completely goosed. A rebuild is the option right now which doesnt make sense.

So I am trying to source a good K series engine.

Anyone know where to look or know of a good engine somewhere?

Many thanks

I got a new old stock k from McMillan motorsport. If that's what you might want, give them a call.

I have just replaced my standard K series from an S1 (with a Honda), when removed, faultless life, 37000ish miles, if you want to consider it you can drop me a line or give Andy at Maidstone Cars a bell, he has done the conversion and we have not discussed what I am to do with the engine yet, he might venture an opinion on it?

Also worth doing a wanted on SELOC, seem to be a few people doing their own conversions at the moment.

I have one that I took out of an S1 last year. It had about 60000 miles on it, we only removed it because we upgraded to a Honda supercharged engine. It's on a pallet ready to go if you still need one?

Should say, it has the gear box and ecu with it too.
