1.8 0r 2.5?

1.8 usually fetch around £400-£500 for solid cam, £300-£700 for VVc depending weather 143bhp or 160bhp. Yes i know they never made a vvc zs :mml:

2.5 i've seen go for silly money. £1000+

its the 2.5l V6 minus one power vis motor for ross...as you'll have seen the crash was mainly side on and the engine looks undamaged.

I would love a spare unit to tinker with................but I think it would be too much wonga.

No idea mate .... but .... Buy a dog of a car, spray it white and dump the engine in .... Sorted.

Anyone else have any idea what it might be worth??

or at least what I should be asking for it??

I'd say it's worth £1k easy, and I still recon it's the best feeling KV6 I've ever driven. It was so silky smooth

But a cheap ZR and dump the KV6 front end into it - you'll have the ultimate track weapon!

I don't know what the V6 would be worth but Rimmer Bros have one of the 4.8 V8's for £2.5k + VAT (and it's new)

probably because that's just a yank Ford engine lol

[stamford]

Put it on ebay, the KV6 is a sought after transplant engine for track cars and kit cars. It won't be just MG, Rover and LandRover owners looking for them.

QED are always modding them for track cars as they are an ideal engine, strong and very light.

I reckon you should get near on a grand for it. Expect to be asked for the drive train and ecu/loom etc.

Advertise it for conversions to get shot of a few more items. Try the Motoring News etc.

I'll stick it on the Scottish Land Rovers owners site if you want dude

[Smokey]

so should I really sell all the bits and peices i can and sell the engine with whats left of the car thus getting rid of it all on collection?

[Smokey]

just so anyone who is interested in the engine knows....the engine is up for sale for £1,000 ONO if anyone wants it. Just drop me a line if thats the case.
