Been thinking [a bad thing I know] and wondering if there might be any interest in my current engine?
It is a 13b RE complete with 1/2 bridge porting done less than 2k miles since a full rebuild made 540fwhp at the Thor dyno day would be sold with the RE uim and lim. Note: it is just the block you would need all the bits and pieces.
What do you guys think?
It might tempt someone as it\'s an easy-ish route if they are due a rebuild but you might have to wait a while unless you can sell it to an engine builder so they can offer it as a package.
Personally I\'m more interested in what the next step for you is; 13REW -> 13B RE -> 20B??? :)

Ls does sound sweet, but cant bring meself to do it:o Have other ideas atm but need to see if anyone might want a ready made 500+ engine
Oh john, john, john, this is so incredibly tempting, its exactly what I want for a future project, I just dont think I can afford it right now!
Do you extend credit to loyal MRC types?!
Oh, did you have a price in mind? £1200? :)

That might just buy a 2nd hand basic block without the 30 odd hours that went into porting or the £900 odd that went into parts:Giggle
Is this an N/A Engine? :eek:
Your obviously not selling it with a turbo, but when you made 540fwhp was this without one?
Im moving house in a month and was looking into getting my current engine ported for use with a T04S, how suited would yours be for that turbo, the turbo is probably a bit too small! lol

Can\'t imagine anything N/A coming out of Johns garage mate :-) For what its worth I bought Johns old car and its an animal, I\'d buy this engine for a spare if I had enough wonga spare.
£1500? and what do you mean "half bridge"? Are the secondaries bridged only?
RE engines are very rare, consider having your stock REW engine rebuilt and ported [1/2 bridge] and see what that costs, the 540 fwhp was from running a T51 at 1.15boost [not even in its stride at that point - should see over 600 with that setup running 1.4] Only looking to recoupe my costs, engine is mint less than 2k miles, only selling the engine [bare] with UIM and LIM [RE]
come on then ... stop being a tease you must have a figure in mind or are you just fishing for offers ?
Yeah come on John, give me a number to start saving towards, or to ask my bank manager for...
Looking for offers around 3.5K, for you peeps that dont get on FDUK to often pop over there and have a look at \'project testarossa\' you might understand the amount of work and detail that has gone into it.
Taking into account a stock rebuild using your own engine comes in around 3k throw into the mix this is an RE block and 1/2 bridge will rev to 9+k and I think that is cheap. I\'m only looking to re-coup my costs to help fund my new project.
eek, far too rich for me i\'m afraid.
Throw in a t51 and ill take it ;)

Sorry to be dumb but in the 3 or 4 years I have been on this site I have never heard the term "Ls"
Once I am told I might want to delete this thread for being dumb but until then I would like an answer.
LS meaning going V8. :Grrr

You dont want much do you:2Rolleyes Maybe you need to cost out one of these puppies, power dont come cheap [if it does it dont last long!]
Hehe, I know but being the poor destitute person that I am, I have to try! Perhaps if you have it in about 6 months and are open to a haggle... :)

i have been speaking to someone about that you know, and i remain to be convinced. The 13b engine weighs less and sits way behind the front axle. The LS engine fills the engine bay and the car ends up weighing about 100 kilos more, all of which is the extra engine size sitting on top of and in front of the front axle.
I can\'t see it handling as well as a 13B
?
