am going to be buying a worked 1600 race engine, mainly for some goodies, but chances are I wont keep the actual engine itself.
" NOTE - engine has run big end bearings and need a crank grind. verbally quoted at $130 for crankgrind.
Head:
2L cortina valves
double valve springs
been planed to up compression not sure exactly what it is
ported inlet and exhaust valves
runs hot plugs
electronic ignition
Carbs:
twin strombergs
balanced
modified butterflys (they are thinner than factory)
the diaphrams are a bit tired but ok
has the proper fiberglass box for filter
2x spare sets of twin carbs
Custom made extractors designed specifically for this engine. needs a few repairs as they have a few small cracks
Bottom end:
1600cc
Oversized pistons
balanced pistons, rods, flywheel, crank, front pully
race cam
lightened flywheel
The engine had a full rebuild only a few hours before the big ends let go. The reason this happened was a result of me running steel engine mounts and the oil pump vibrated off the bottom of the block. The head was newly built at the same time."
will probably be keeping the carbs, exhaust, electronic ignition, and maybe some other bits.
so yeh, will be picking it up this weekend and deciding what I actually want from it (most likely just bolt on goodies) and will likely sell the rest, so let me know if you are interested
watching...
haha was waiting for you to pop up, have been flat out this weekend so havnt had tim to pick it up. will let you know when I do
right went and had a look at this and had a good chat to the guy.
It basicaly just needs a crank grind (he has two cranks, the one that was in it and a factory one), and new big end bearings and he said you could have it back together and running in a day. the crank is out but the rest of the engine is still assembled.
Have decided to just stick to my standard 1600 and just get it running real nice than to get this motor. Its tuned to run of avgas and is grumpy as fuck till about 2500-3000rpm and then it pulls to around 10,000.....so in all seriousness, i dont really feel it would be that great in a street car haha
but if anyone else is keen/joker, I am happy to pass on contact details. the dude is a real nice guy and seems to know his shit.
stick with what i got at the moment too :P
but still watching
crank or cam grind? cos I got that Kelford cam offa TM
crank. big end bearings went caput and took a bit of crank with it etc
ahh after this weekend i may be more interested...
overheated today up Whariti, fuel line caught fire next to exhaust, = small fire :P
all hoses replaced & ready to race tomorrow btu unsure fr how long the 1600 will hold up
idea on value?
sweet f all lol. he said 200 with all the bits and bobs he has (few spare carbs and shit, radiator, and some other stuff)
where?
i think i'll take it...
hes in wellington/upper hut. sell me exhuast auw and some carbs. ill tell him your keen and ill get an exact price and what it comes with etc if you want?
will take what I can gather at this stage :P for as little as he will take (age old conundrum)
my motor is pretty poked & over heats like a mofo and catches fire/ wont start when hot - all bad things for a rally car hahaha
haha sweet, will let you know
keen to get a new motor in by this time next month (trackday)
so just a wee hurry up if possible :P
and durr just seen your wtb thread on OS - these are strombergs I have currently which have your name on them
well i txt him (only contact I have) but havent heard back. ill pm you his number and you can hit him up
MINE
:P
will be coming for a hoon down this weekend sometime
[sig may need updating]
lush. giz sum bits?
will see - have to be greedy sometimes... want my old tc's?
yes!
well that was simple they can be your finders fee
done - will have them in the car and drop them off :P
looks like I may come down sat bout lunch - gather parts from Duncan/meet you there
stay night Whitby (mates house) with high possible chance of getting OTP
does that include manifold? keen to run twin su's at some point haha
yeh sweet sounds good. will likely be busy sat night (misses is taking me out for my birthday etc)
IF i get a mani from Duncan then yup
mine has got real hot (cause of fire on weekend)
so not the best condition hence low cost to you haha
If/when I decide to tune the Solex's I have I wont need the twin mani anyway
also IF i dont get motivated before weekend to remove I will pop the twins in a box and just courier them to you
duncan said he has a ported mani for the carbs to go with the motor...
think my exhaust is welded on - hence will make this work and sent it on to you :P
and durr just seen your wtb thread on OS - these are strombergs I have currently which have your name on them
haha i know. have tracked down an exhaust mani and twin carb mani (for cheaps) from another guy so if you dont want to part with yours then all good (and saves me having welded exhaust lol). would be keen on the strombergs though. want to suss out some SU's eventually as well.
Congrats on the new engine JoKer, should make a huge difference. Cant wait to see the next lot of in-car footage with the new engine.
And happy birthday Andrew (http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/Themes/flint12/images/bdaycake.gif) Good work on the twin carbs, hope you find some SU's
Man with all this new power I am going to have to hurry up and do my next round of mods to keep up.
its not my birthday till friday but thanks mate haha
welded as in down the bottom somewhere - its ben a while since i was under the car & had my mate/local garage sort it :P
sorry If my explanation was a bit vague
I see. well let me know how you get on. as I said, can suss out manifolds but keen on carbs
i dont mind the discussion in here :P probably should be PM's
so Duncan has a set of rims
have you seen them Andrew?
what do you think they are worth - I offered $100 low ball figure BUT aware scrap man would pay about the same if not slightly more for the same
my budget does not go any higher this month
he did mention them to me, I think they are modgie like, i suspect they are us800's or whatever they are. dont think he wants much for them either
got manofolds sorted so if you come down this weeekend just bring the carbs with ya if you dont mind. cheers
see what i can do :P moved it wed night to do lawns - massive 'zaust leeks everywhere
should be mobile/operational after lunch Sunday
address / cell?
I'm 021 133 4158
J
LOL I googled 800's and guess which forum popped up with 3 results haha

i havent actually seen them but from how he desribed them I think they are those. dont hold me to it though haha. he was going to just throw them in if I brought all his shit so I cant imagine he wants much for them
