As per title... just putting the feelers out i guess... are there any lower mileage engines still out there? 

[blackviper90210]

Imho, low mileage engines do not always equal a "good" engine

[bigboykarl]

i have a 2.5 that has had headgasket ,cambelt,waterpump at 90k was in my minifacelift elite think mileage was around 107k when it was parked up

Whats wrong with your one can i ask?

[barclay03]

Mines is a little tired, but rather than take the time to take it out and refurb it... id rather have a spare there to rebuild and just swap them, and I want to fettle a bit with it also

To fair away to post an engine, do have a great pair of 3.0 heads covered 100k
In the family we have
3.0 165k rebuilt top at 150 now flys
3.2 192k
3.2 158k all pull well
just go on and on...

One of the best 3.0l I've driven is my very own MV6 with 188k on.  Although she does burn a little oil now - cant always get between oil services without a top up

It's nice to  have a engine ready on standby tbh it you don't it will blow if you have one there your engine will last forever.... just the way it is 

[barclay03]

Dont get me wrong, im not doubting high milers at all (and looking at it there arent going to be many 3.0's about with lower mileage anymore), but id just rather have a base to start with that has generally less wear overall. Not sure to what spec im building it upto yet...or even if i can retrofit the 3.2 in there with 3.0 bits?

[RobseyMV6]

Can do that, it i hear on pick up a car with low miles i will PM you, do know of one with 60K kicking around as new engine had been fitted.... but all down to what you will be willing to pay?

[barclay03]

Very true.. price is always an issue, as I know what the likes of a Z20LET and the LS V8's cost... so with more bang straight out of the box it could be more cost efficent to do that for few extra horses lol
