Free - V8 saloon engine converted to SP250

Post by gwhiting »

Hi,

Last year I swapped the 250 V8 engine in my Dart for an original Dart unit - the old engine was tired and leaking oil, but had obviously been converted to fit the Dart.

The old engine was stripped down and my engine builder told me that the crank couldn't be ground any further - I've since been told that it could have been chromed to add more metal.

Anyway, I have a (believed to be complete) 250 V8 engine converted to fit the Dart, but disassembled, and free to whoever would like to come and collect it from Norfolk. As far as I know it's complete with pistons, valves, heads, rocker covers etc, but I can check specifics if anyone wants to know. If nobody wants it then it'll get scrapped, which will be a shame.

Graeme.

It would be a shame to scrap it for sure.

My 250 v8 needs some attention, some spares would come in handy .
