Bradbys Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I am looking for a crossflow engine. Preferably a good runner that I can drop straight in. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I know somebody with an all steel crossflow for sale, complete with carbs and ignition. Was in a hillclimb single seater. Can get you his phone number if your interested?

Bradbys Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Simon? Thanks for the reply, but I assume that something all steel will be beyond my budget. 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnonut Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Bradbys, If your looking for something that runs but could benefit from some tlc or an upgrade, I have a crossflow from a TVR Vixen with al the bits still attched if your interested. I'm only in Stock so just up the road if you want to come and have alook. Cheers, Rosso Superlight no.087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradbys Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Wingnonut I could be Interested - what is its current spec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Basic. Hence the comment that it would need upgrading to be any where near supersport spec. Its currently got a single downdraft webber on a cast manifold and a standard (not sure of the code) Capri GT cam. I took the car to pieces three years ago to rebuild and of cause things tend to get pushed down the list of priorities. Now I doubt that I will ever get round to putting the car back together and as such I would rather the engine went to a good cause than sat in the garage awaiting a time when I had the money and inclination to put it to use. You may be do better to find one to "drop in" , but if the search ends up ffuitless or expensive. The options always there. Richard.

Billy Bonkers Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I have a spare, standard 1600 crossflow engine complete, and in one piece (711M block). The flywheel and ring gear will mate with ford type 9 gearbox with pre-engaged starter. It comes with a downdraft carb (32/36 dgv weber) and manifold. I bought it as a runner late last summer to upgrade and rebuild this winter, planning a 1700 rebore etc, but so far I've failed to mobilise myself. It's still sitting in my garage waiting. If you need it drop me a line. I suggest £100 would be a fair price. Knowing it ran OK in July I wouldn't hesitate to use it as-is if I needed an engine to get mobile. However, not knowing when it was last overhauled (if ever) I suggest a complete strip down, clean, check and rebuild would be a worthwhile precaution. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bonkers Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 I just realised mine is v similar to Wingnonut's but further away... silly me 😳 (slow reader) Anyway, the offer is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
