FS 71E Longblock

[Fishcop]

As mentioned previously, I have a 71 2.2 E engine #6210268 available. It is a complete long block - all the way to rocker covers, but nothing else. Turns over, and was running fine before removal (a long time ago). Compression tested with all cylinders between 125 and 130 PSI.

Chasing $8k or swap for a 2.0 long block or complete. Very keen on a 68 case (especially an aluminium cased engine with cash your way).

Cheers

And bringing this back...

I've still got this 71E cased long block engine available. I say E cased as in all good faith, I don't know what's inside as the heads are date coded 68 and as such don't have the MFI cutouts, so it's an ideal engine for carbies. This was a well running engine I removed from my old 69T in 2004 after building a 2.7RS for fun. I mothballed the engine and have had it in the garage ever since.

I have a receipt from a top-end engine rebuild from 1993 by Phil Hearne at Auto Coupe (perhaps this is when the heads were changed?). Milage at the time was s 83,390. I do know that the car had 89,XXX miles on the odometer when I bought it in 2000 and 92k when I pulled the engine. So that's about 10,000 miles or about 16,000 kilometers. I had the engine checked when I bought the car with compression 120-125 PSI on all cylinders.

Engine number is 6210263 I have made enquiries, but have not been able to identify the original chassis it comes from. Currently the engine is on a stand. I have pulled the chain covers and valve covers to check everything and will supply new gasket seals, washers and nylocks for the new owner to take a look for themselves and button it back up (if that's what you want).

Asking $7000 obo and engine is located in Port Macquarie NSW. I can get it onto a pallet and to a transport depot. I may be able to deliver to Newcastle or perhaps Sydney.
