I had a dream to install a 6, that was a few years back and I even got a 2,2T motor but the project didn't get off the ground, anyway as I have run out of things to do I thought I might resurrect the idea.
According to the PO the motor came out of a running car and I want to make sure that it runs before I commit to installing it. What do I need to do to get it running? I do not have a spare gearbox for the starter or an oil tank is there an easy way to fire it up without (or using substitutes for) these parts and what about the electrics, there is a coil but I think I need more than that? Any help much appreciated as I know nothing about these engines. PS: It looks like the motor has been opened up at some time there is a lot of sealer on the case seam behind the flywheel, do you think its been opened?   |

Get a quote from your machine shop and go from there. When you buy any core engines be, it’s impossible to tell what you have until you open it up.

I agree - get a quote from a knowledgeable machinist before writing the case off. Also, at this point, strip down the rest and see what the rod bearings look like; cams, followers, etc Figure out what is usable and what needs replacing - them move from there. - Tony |
