First up a slightly modified one

I have an early 1991 GSi engine for sale, it’s had a full rebuild (new pistons etc) in Feb 2004 and has done 1,300 miles since then. I can sell you the engine, loom with ECU and a K&N induction kit for £140. The engine’s head has been skimmed and fitted with cut back valves and toughened valve springs. I can deliver if you are interested and pay my petrol costs.

Here is my advert if you are interested in any other parts:

Second

Ive got a GSi engine removed from my girlfriends car covered 82k from new with a load of history with it, Comes with ECU/Loom.

£100

I just had a thought, the first one must have been running a aftermarket cam as hes selling a 272 degree one on Novaload so he must have removed it and put the standard one back in.

I think I'll stick with the standard engine.

i'd choose a standard over modded

people who have rebuilt their engines then sell em shortly after didn't get what they expected imo, same with conversions

They are'nt 16v engines, they are 8v engines.

Yes I had 16v, but to many wires, to unrealiable.
