As the title suggests i am after a damaged ajp8 engine (heads and block only).
This is for a college project for a friend so condition isnt important.
Any help and suggestions would be welcome (cos he aint havin mine!)

Even damaged ones would command a bit of a price, does it have to be an AJP?

Speak with someone like TVR Power they may have one beyond repair?

Yep, depends how much you want to pay.

I have one that is for sale but waiting for the right offer. What do you need? Heads, block, inlets exhaust etc?

Can do a deal for short or long engine without ancillaries.

I would like a 4.5 inlet/trottle bodies and potentially some of the other bits that you don't want.

Indeed... Tuscan race crank I have from my original race engine. Its small journal but has a nose on it as my block was a road block (dry sumped) so unlike some steel cranks it will still be able to drive the AC-pulley.

Don't think I can use the small journal crank, will ask Jason if it is what is needed for my winter project.

I still haven't found any main bearings yet but am awaiting a call back next week from a prototype bearing manufacturer.

Ooh sounds good, keep me posted... Jason's got mine in for build in the second week of Dec so if I don't get anything before then it's getting the tri-alloy ones.

I've got a billet steel large main crank too but that one's going in my engine biggrin
