escort combi 1600 diesel engine ivor searle 15000 miles xr31 gearbox
this is the engine and gearbox from my old escort mk4 combi van.
the engine failed so we bought an ivor searle recon in 1999, in 2000 i crashed the van, the engine and gearbox was removed and has sat in my shed ever since.
i was planning on useing it but i cant see it being used so its offered here for sale.
i have checked it this morning and it turns over ok by the bottom pulley, obviously it has been stood for 11 years and came from an accident damage car so may need some parts to get going i dont know.
it has done a maximum of 15000 miles. the gearbox failed aswell so it had a new clutch and recon box fitted at some point prior to the new engine but its so long ago no one can remember when or mileage all they have said there sure it was an xr3i gearbox.
i am willing to sell the lot for £350 if anyone is interested.
these must be getting rare now, the 1600 was the one to have aswell i seem to remember they were better than the 1800s.
