This engine is only for sale as I am upgrading to a 2 litre engine in my Nova rally car.

The 1400cc engine is lightweight and with the modifications will be producing somewhere in the region of 135 bhp. It will therefore make for a competitive engine in many motorsport disciplines, e.g. stage rallying, racing, track days, autotests, rallycross etc.

This one has been converted to run on a set of SBD taper throttle bodies, with an MBE ECU. It is complete and ready to fit.

The full specification is;

1400cc 16 valve small block XE

SBD Taper Throttle Bodies on alloy inlet manifold
MBE 955 ECU, complete with map loaded
Pro Aircraft style wiring harness, with all connections labelled
ITG Megaflow air filter assembly
FSE fuel pressure regulator, with fuel pressure gauge
Engine supplied complete with ALL ancillaries, e.g. flywheel, clutch, starter motor, exhaust manifold, throttle linkage, alternator etc.

For more details on the spec. of the throttle body kit, please have a look at this link;

http://sbdev.co.uk/Main.htm

It is worth noting that the throttle body kit sells for close to £2000 - and that's without an engine attached to it!

I have the engine listed on EBAY, in a NO RESERVE auction, so please click this link for all the details, and to place a bid;

BTTT.

Loads of people watching the auction, but not enough bidding. I'm obviously not going to give the engine away, I know what it's worth, so please get your bids in.

If it isn't going to make sensible money on EBAY, I already have a good offer for it, and I will take that.

Top again.

75 people watching, but almost no bidding. It's going to be pulled from EBAY if it doesn't get a realistic bid soon.

I think I pay EBAY quite enough as it is, without contributing more for its 'extras'.

Excellent, should be loads of fun to build and drive. There are a few of those competing in the hillclimb and sprint events I do.

yeah thats one of the main reasons i want one. if i was to enter the nova id be in the superlibre classes, and I also get stuffed in with the 'caterfields' class when i compete in Autosolos, which means i only stand a chance when its wet! so, like they say - if you cant beat em, join em.

I know how you feel, I'd love to run my Nova but even with the spec. I've got in mine, I wouldn't have a chance in the Sports Libre class I'd be forced to run in.

Luckily I have my Escort Cosworth that I can use in 'Modified Production';

Colin,

You should put a thread up on your escort.

Colin,

I may well do that Ben, it's currently in a lot of pieces undergoing a rebuild for next season's racing, so it is now another project.

With the horrific price of proper competition Cosworth parts, I may well need to sell my Nova to fund it though!

Yes they certainly are in a different league when it comes to prices.
