KV6 Engine Wanted

I'm after an engine to use as a test unit for some design work etc, I'm not looking for a runner but one that is all there would be better suited. It'll be spending its time on an engine stand. Ideally something that is not too far away either.

Let me know what's about as and when you hear of anything guys. This also includes part engines, inlet manifolds, heads etc.

Cheers.

idge2003 will become famous soon enough
I have a 180 on the drive which I have started to strip down! Engine was a runner clutch hydraulics went only thing stopping it starting is I managed to damage the wire from starter solenoid to starter while trying to start car in gear!

Are you after a complete assembly including gearbox etc?

Do you have a figure you are willing to pay in mind?

Cheers

Nah not really. Just a bit big too, and the family and dog very rarely come out in it....which is why I bought it.
