Fishcop Posted 15April, 2018 Report Share Posted 15April, 2018 Looking to free up some space in my world I've got a 71E cased long block engine available. I say E cased as in all good faith, I don't know what's inside as the heads are date coded 68 and as such don't have the MFI cutouts, so it's an ideal engine for carbies. This was a well running engine I removed from my old 69T in 2004 after building a 2.7RS for fun. I mothballed the engine and have had it in the garage ever since. I have a receipt from a top-end engine rebuild from 1993 by Phil Hearne at Auto Coupe (perhaps this is when the heads were changed?). Milage at the time was s 83,390. I do know that the car had 89,XXX miles on the odometer when I bought it in 2000 and 92k when I pulled the engine. So that's about 10,000 miles or about 16,000 kilometers. I had the engine checked when I bought the car with compression 120-125 PSI on all cylinders. Engine number is 6210263 I have made enquiries, but have not been able to identify the original chassis it comes from. Currently the engine is on a stand. I have pulled the chain covers and valve covers to check everything and will supply new gasket seals, washers and nylocks for the new owner to take a look for themselves and button it back up (if that's what you want). Asking $7000 and engine is located in Port Macquarie NSW. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 17May, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 17May, 2018 Did a clean up. Have located the distributor, some leads, fan strap, ALL freshly powder-coated tinware, and an engine shroud for this engine (except air sockets)... So it needs fan/alternator, carbs/manifolds, exhaust. Any interest or is my pricing right off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishcop Posted 19November, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19November, 2018 This sale fell through a while ago so the engine is back up for sale @$7k. Description in first post has not changed. But I've since managed to find a few odds and sods to go with the engine including a choice of 2 engine shrouds (T (painted S-red) and a later ducted version also in S-red), the Marelli distributor, some orphan intake manifolds and some linkage (I have to double check sizes) and a complete set of engine tinware powdercoated in satin black (really nice). I can also think about including a pair of near new block-off plates for the shroud to delete heat, you may also be able to talk me into including a pair of lower Turbo valve covers with full silicone gaskets . I think I may also have a 915 flywheel that could go with it - it's a bit crusty and would need a hone... Engine turns and I believe it would start. But I do think you have to consider it a rebuild core. I can put the engine on a pallet and drop off at a transport depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crsedge Posted 20November, 2018 Report Share Posted 20November, 2018 Hi John, Have posted it on Typ901 under Bremith's post. He is building a '71RS Clone which came with a 2.4 - not sure if he is looking to go period with the engine but thought worth a shot Cheers Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
