27k from swindon themselves is the only other price I've seen for one before. Tried signing up to see if there's any decent pics but you have to wait for activation :tard:

edit: activated, and I'd be interested to know what pumps it's running for the dry sump, as it looks like it's running the original oil pump and a single scavenge to me.

In Fairness thats not a bad price sbd quote 10k plus for there 292bhp build and that you supplying and engine aswell

They're the only photos on the advert, sorry.

And £13k isn't out of line for something like this.

Just for those questioning the price, the only original parts on it that I can see are the block, possibly the water pump (obviously most likely brand new for the build though) and also it looks like it may be running the original oil pump, or at least a ZLET one etc.

Also seems theres a pressure pump and what could be 2 scavenge in that single pump.

for someone wanting an engine in that spec this seems a tidy buy. Ive seen so many engines with little work and wanting 4k plus.

Agreed.

If someone wants a proper XE for less than £4k, have a look at the one I have for sale;

no ebay links in here cheers :)
