Heap of scrap
Andy the Landy:
Been offered a V8 from a P6 complete with gearbox and modified exhaust. In a LWB rolling chassis at the moment, not run for 3 years, so all the mods are done. (oil filter, water pump shaft, engine mounts etc etc) 400 hundred quid. Is this a good price, I wouldnt have a clue. Also been offered a Perkins 4.2 or 4.6 (cant remember which 1) would this fit a series 3.
ian_s:
i think the perkins would be a very heavy engine.
V8MoneyPit:
£400 for the V8 sounds great if it's in good condition. Fully reconditioned units can cost upwards of £2k. And they wouldn't come with carbs, etc.
And hey, what's a few mpg between friends...... that is a very few mpg! But the noise alone is worth every penny :D
Xtremeteam:
hey,my V8 cost nowt,did have low oil pressure to start with but i fitted a guage & took the bulb out,£400 for a p6 engine is a bit dear,make sure its had regular oil changes for a start & theres no gunge on the rocker covers
Andy the Landy:
all I know about the engine is its been stood for 3 years in a LWB restoration project thats now not being restored. The owner of the LWB has vanished leaving the rolling chassis in local Landy Repair garage and the owner of the garage wants the space back so he is getting rid of it. He doesnt know the history, only that it ran 3 years ago. Suppose it could be more trouble than its worth then?
