Bugger that. How about a 1916 in pieces? It has a cracked case, but apart from that runs. Have no idea what is inside it but it defintiely has 94 barrells and pistons. No idea what crank is in it.

It has no exhaust and I would like to keep the carbs. Basically you would pull it apart and put it all in a new case. Then you would have a long block 1916. Let me know if you're interested and what sort of money.

It was in my KG and I drove the car hardly ever. Like twice last year. Now has no rego. Engine has been out since the case cracked. Crack not from hoon driving but stupid me over tightening the oil temp switch. Crack is so small you can't even really see it. When you run it though it runs out like a black ribbon. So the engine must have good oil pressure.

Here is the pic as discussed. Remember it would be minus the carbs and exhaust. I am fairly sure eveything else is there. It defintiely has 94 Barrell and Pistons, a 009 Dizzy and stan pobjoy anti surge racing sump. All tinware included. Ask any questions.

BWAHAHAHA........... and??


Yeah - might mention that to him tonight :P

XXX-1.8T ·

well i spoke to Rich yesterday twice. I have u2u'd alex twice as well on bits to make my own 1776.

But yeah the guy before me with 2.1 was running it with a single Carb. Engine has lots of potential but ill be happy with at least 70hp

XXX-1.8T ·

thanx for all your help guys I managed to get the 2.1 soo cant wait to get it in.

Hi,
any detail on the specs and history on that 2.1 ?
sounds way too cheap .
are u sure its what the seller says it is ?
any way
good luck

Craig Torrens ·

Wow, from wanting a 1776 in parts to now owning a 2.1 !

type_one ·

The only way you can run your stock exhaust with kadron etc is to weld up the vacumm line on it. That way it will work.

A 2.1 should be good for plenty more than 75 horsies.

Craig Torrens ·

not with a stock exhaust on it.:thumb

Cant say anymore about the 2.1 as ive been sworn to secrecy. My friend owned it and has had it stripped and checked out for me. I will rebuild it get the tin ware powder coated and give u some more details about the specs.

Ill be happy to have 80hp as i said before im not after power just something reliable. Being a 2.1 with 80hp i would be chuffed as i was loving my 1600TP with Kadrons. I can see me now in Brown undies once i put it in
