My engine is goosed and i need a new one asap due to doing a fair few miles a day to commute to work. I would post in classifieds but i was hoping to get more attention here.
Have cash waiting. if its a redtop engine i would also need gearbox and brakes. If anybody has one for sale please let me know. Can collect via trailer. Sorry for the crappy post, i'm on my phone. I haven't got the internet at the moment and can't really check my u2u's so if you have an engine for sale text or ring me on 07904380019

If you've just overheated it why dont you just strip it down and fix it.. Dont see why so many people swap engines for things that arent hard fixes..

head skim and a new gasket and it'll be right as rain IMO.

Exactly... Thing is if you were putting a new engine in you'd be mad not to change the belt and pump plus other bits and bobs.. Just a really lazy, expensive way to fix a relatively simple problem..
