3.0 bottom end
« on: 28 June 2009, 20:13:03 »
Does anyone have a bottom end only, for a 3.0 v6.

If so, how much would you be wanting for it.

Just wanting the block, with pistons etc - no cylinder heads or ancils.

Preferably from an auto.

Do you think with a crane, I'd get a block only, in the back of an Estate car?

In answer to the last bit...with a crane I can easily get a whole v6 engine in the back of an estate so yes, in fact you will probably be able to get the bottom end into just about any car :y

I have a very good whole engine but the bottom end I had in my garage has gone I'm afraid...

I've got a complete car that I'm breaking due to head gasket failure. Bottom end is yours for £80. oh and it is off an auto. if you do want it i'd need a few days (with good weather) to get it all out and ready for you though.

What makes you think it's head gasket failure?  :y
