hey Luke if u still lookin for a motor i have a

711M block about 1650 in capacity
bottom end is balanced
head is ported and polished
head has BIG valves
Mild cam
4-1 extractors
32/32 GT weber on manifold

the bottom end is stripped of its bolt ons but i still have every single piece off it. the head is completly stripped and needs a freshen up and a set of strong valve springs. which i can get done at your expence as i am in the trade. i was planning on freshening up this motor for my 1600 but ended up buying a new car with a 2 litre.

i am located in diamond creek about 2hrs away from bendigo. i also have a 4spd gearbox from a mk2 escort that i will throw in if wanted.

cheers Zac

have i have a completely stock 1600 ran really well in the car

it has about 160 000 ks on it but ran amazingly. in the cold and warm. anyway the exhaust was cut just after the manifold, carburetter lines still there
carb is amazing. tell me if you dont want the carb cuz ill sell it seperately if not, how much are you willing to pay and do u want it transported or delivered personally, ( i would prefer it get freighted. the starter motor works from what i no, i cant really test it because i am to lazy to get the battery out of dads car becuase mine is low.

but yeah like i sed it ran great no noises or vibrations clutch is about 30% if you want it. comes with fan and such.

how much are you willing to pay?

note, oil was changed about 5000ks before it was taken out.
