In my search for a new engine (E16SE), i have found one that is from a Nova GSi that was sat for ten years in a garage.

It turns over, but wont fire due to not having the immobiliser fob.

All i need is the head and block.

Would you entertain such a predicament?

Obviously id fire a belt and fluids in, but can you reccomend any other parts it may need?

Hmmmm......
