Needs an engine - but what do you expect for nowt??

 

hhhmmm - i could be interested.

Been thinking of chucking a V8 in a sierra for a while and have been offered a twin turbo setup for it too.

 

Bloodyhell, that makes 3 that looks like they shortly gonna be in progress.

You thinking of uisng a crappy rover, or summat decent like a 302 windsor?

 

Ran, dont think it hadn't crossed my mind too!

Only drawback, cos its on a K reg it will have to meet stricter emissions for an mot.

I havent had it long enough to get underneath it - but the inner wings are all good, the only visible rust is a little patch on the front wing.

Its there if you want it!

 

phil,i thought if the engine was old enough it was ok though?and where is it?

 

Steve - rover engine as a mate has a couple sitting there.

 

nooooooooo,nice windsor 351!

 

Big Wig, i thought it was by the year of the car.
Would fail on a K so im told
BTW it in Ely, Cambridgeshire

 

dammit! im in wales,far too far! steve:i found another one on base estate though!

 

Not a 351 mate, too big for a Sierra if you wanna fit turbos and not have tons of grief.

302.

And even thats close, will need to be low mount log manifolds keeping the turbos close to the block.

Far smaller engine bay than a Mustang.

Estate would be cool as fuck actually.

 

sorry mate thought they were all the same,bloody ci means nothin to me,302 is 5 litre innit?ill ask the feds about both motors!

 

I agree - an estate would be cool as!!

Doesnt get this bloody thing out of my way though does it?!!

 

302 is 5litre, 351 is 5.7.

5.7 block is too big, 5litre bolts straight in with the correct mounts

 

gotta get them correct mounts then!woohoo!anyway
post hogging here sorry!
anyone want a free sierra from ely?

 

how far is Ely from Heathrow?

Im brass at the moment so not a good time start a new project tho

 

i agree that an estate would be cool

 

3 hours each way prob

 

3 hours is probably about right. M25, M11, A14, A10

 

I thought emissions was done on whatever was older be it the car or the engine

 

such a grey area... its either one or the other, engine orr car depending on who you speak to
