TYPE 4 ENGINES GOING TO DUMP

I got heaps of type 4 engine stuff that is going to the tip. If you need anything, you better give me a yell pretty quick.

Was going to take them to Nationals but doesnt look like there will be enough room for everything.

Che Castro ·

what do you have?

amazer ·

Anything you want.

ColumBUS ·

got a whole engine??

Che Castro ·

I'd be interested in any longblock stuff, cranks, rods, case, heads, hardware etc. Not at all possible to bring it to the nationals?

amazer ·

I have a few engines (possibly 3???) in pieces. So 3 cases, 1800 cranks, 2 litre cranks, 5 thousand pushrods, several sets of tinware etc. 2 litre cranks and rods will cost bucks. I would much rather you come down and have a pick through the stuff to see what you think is best. Apart from my big valve heads which I dont know quality of yet (that engine still assembled, has gritty metal in the bottom of it) all the heads I have are junk. Come down with a trailer and you can take it all. Actually I will give you an unregistered rusty trailer to take it all away with!

Its first in best dressed.

barls ·

could be interested mate just waiting on the old man to get back to me

barls ·

definitely interested mate will be down early this weekend if thats good with you the old man said there may even be some beer involved for you

pete wood ·

When r you chucking it, I want a 2l short block if ya got one still, a decent case and tinware if not.

amazer ·

Is saturday a public holiday? If not I will toss it all on saturday. That will leave everyone with a day off on friday to come and have a scrounge.

I dont have any engines in any state of assembly...except for a type 3 engine thats ready to go in a car for $350.

I've had a look at the cases and one was stuffed. So I have two good cases. I have many many sets of tinware. I'm certain there would be at least 3 good full sets.

1800 cranks I will give away. For the 2 litre I want $250 with a set of rods thrown in for free. Might have the odd type1 crank as well for free.

Alternators and starters I will let go for $30 each. I dont think I have a 2 litre starter.

I dont have any carbs at all, not even dead ones. Dont have stock dizzys, but the odd 009.

I may have found 1 usable head, but im not the best for picking these things. I cant see cracks and valves arent recessed.

When you say hardware, do you mean all nuts and bolts? I am about to strip an engine so I could keep the full set of nuts/bolts together. If you tell me exactly what you want, I guess I could try and squeeze it in for the nationals.

Apart from tinware, she's pretty much all gone. Barls snr has first claim on the rest which I will take to nationals. After that, it will be a free for all.

barls ·

thanks mate the old man is very impressed

karmannghia60 ·

Any carbs? a Pair with linkage?

amazer ·

no carbs, I had 6 or 8 and couldnt make 2 decent ones. They were bastardised with bits and pieces of all sorts of carbs melded together to form crud. Ended up part swapping them for a reco set from Dunham Autos.
