sri 130 engine

[scottn]

i`ve been offered a sri 130 engine from a mk 2 cav 4 ?100 but its only engine n box, do u think its wurf doing, n how much do u think the rest of the bits will come to t get it in n runningg??

well i brought a FRONT end of cav sri for ?150, was chopped just behind the windscreen and infront of seats, everything was there apart from pump and battery, helped alot, i idealy want to get a MOT failier or rear or side dammaged one with good engine.

Its all there apart from the the pump, pump might cost another ?10 second hand, you've got to budget for brakes as sri130 are old style crap, and suspension, mounts, fuel lines/tank, and thats about it,

I done this a few years ago with the frontend from a cavalier calibre( when 16v couldnt be got for less than ?600!!!!, am now in the process of doing a 16v, and for the extra ?200 for a 16v lump I think its well worth it!

brakes as sri130 are old style crap

they feel good to me

SRi130 use old style delco calipers, late style ATE are much more reliable, and less prone to seizing

i brought an entire cav 130 for ?100 mate running perfect. or you could just buy my gte now with the cav engine in needs a bit of work for the mot though but i dont want much for it.?
