Title: I need an engine!
Post by mazzy_j on Jun 29^th, 2005, 2:23pm

Does anybody know where i can get a second-hand 2.5 td lump (Or a v.cheap car with one in) from which wouldn't cost an arm and a leg? i'm in essex but will travel as reasonably far as need be to pck it up. one from the granada scorpio will also fit if that helps.

Thanks, Matt

£1500 is more arms and legs than I have ;)

I did see a transit 2.5 on ebay. Anyone know if they are the same unit?

the 2.5 tranny engine is different as far as i know, and i was thinking of rebuilding the engine but the con-rod has gone through and out the side of the engine block, so if i could get hold of a second hand block then i could re-build it as i have a whole heap of spare parts. but getting another complete lump would be a whole lot easier.

Thanks for your help,

Matt

Hi. :)
There is a scrappy near me that has a Scorp in that used to be a private hire cab, as we all know most cabs are diesels.
The number is 01617616481. Autosave in Bury, Lancs
Dunno if its worth a try, not really round the corner for you.
But if if they have one in and its ok i may be able to deliver for you.
Not to Essex but Towcester Northamptonshire.
I`m down there next week picking something up.
Any help? ???

Jay
