Engine swap / deal ?
Discussion
Just putting some feelers out ....
I've just completed a partial body-lift to inspect my chassis. Nothing too bad but I need to replace the outside tube of the outrigger. I could probably do this as it is now but I enjoyed the whole process so much I've decided to take the body right off, sort the chassis properly and do a few other little projects. Since there has been several 'body-off' threads recently, I'll save you the pictures
One of those projects is to swap in a larger engine. So to my point - would anyone be interested in my 4.0L unit ? I'd like to get some cash for it to offset some of the cost of the replacement. It's a good fast revving engine that had the TVR Power 4.0L upgrade package and currently runs with H218 cams, CF twin plenum and Tornado chip from MA. When it was mapped it measured 214 bhp at 5558 rpm ( all dyno caveats apply :-) ).
I'll be keeping the ancillaries, CF trumpets and plenum. I'm undecided about the heads. I'll also probably switch to a different ECU so may include the ECU with Tornado chip if it makes sense ( if your induction system is different or I keep the heads then it wouldn't make sense - the value is in the mapping process, not the chip itself ).
If you have a tired 4.0L unit and are considering a rebuild, this could be a cheaper option ? We could add your old unit into the deal as I would avoid an exchange surcharge if I hand over an old unit.
Before I took the car off the road I had some poor running which was a faulty fuel regulator. That's now replaced but it is over-fuelling a bit. If you're quick you can see it running in the car before I whip it out.
If you're interested, get in touch. If there is no interest, I'll just swap it in for the new unit but it seems a bit of a shame.
cheers,
