Ooh, tempted as a potential engine donor for the Scimitar but I suspect it'll be too long. Have a bump. It'd fit with a bit of work - and would be a hoot One of mine has a straight six diseasel turbo from an omega - only slight bulkhead cutting required!

Ive been racking my brains thinking of a cool car to slip this engine and Box into?! Land rover 90? Sierra? Capri? Transit? Lucida?? Hilux? Morris minor?! Id love to do that myslf, but have too many cars taking up space.... Price drop to £400..... be brave!

Oh dear, this is getting ridiculously cheap. It's almost at the point where I can afford it. How quickly does it need to go? And how noisy is it with no rear silencers?

For people thinking along the same lines as me to save you time the box is a variant of the TH400 and can either be made fully manual (i.e no electronics) or you can buy a stand alone ECU for it

Currently the manifolds have been removed, the battery is pretty weak too, will start and run with a jump, probably best trailered away as don't have any spare time to mess about with it...... £350 takes it!
