gen 3 parts

[fozwanger]

I have just taken delivery of a gen 3 motor and box wITHOUT ancillaries, inlet manifild, injectors, loom, injector rails, ecu, rocker covers, coil packs, leads, MAF, any one got any for sale or know of any piled up in someone's garage or a breaker?

Need a sump and pick up pipe too.

Cheers

not much of your list about i think, time for some US shopping

[fozwanger]

or may even be worth a "visit" for a few days to collect the parts without the missus, hmmmmm..............

I have a sump if you need one

It would be worth contacting Paul Scharf in the states, as he often has alot of second hand parts available...

If going new, speak to The Wizard (Chuck)

Paul,

Sent you pm.

Have had several chats with Chuck, unbelievably friendly and helpful however, I have email Paul at Scharf auto's and I don't get a reply.

I have also emailed X2 Builders and cleveland pick a part, both seem helpful and a lot cheaper than others on ebay that I have found.

Keep hunting guys,

Guys,

I've just checked the engine numbers and it's a gen 2, 1998 vintage. Pne respect, that's good, forged internals, other is it's not as powerful

:-(

Anyhow, does this open things up a bit?

[neilsfishing]

is it RHD or LHD

[fozwanger]

The engine was apparently used as a test bed, it's immaculate bar a hole in the sump made form outside.
The guy is convinced it's a gen 3 but the engine numbers say its a gen 2.
Do gen 3 heads fit on a gen 2?
The engine number is 8EWCDX016
Other number cast VIPB15
Also has cast 05037031AD
Engraved 27-01-05

The cyl heads have 13-05-05 cast on them.

Without whipping the heads off and checking disp, what's the easiest way to check if it's a gen 2 or 3? If it's a gen 2 it's a 98 with forged gizzards which is good.
What are the physical differences to look out for?
This engine origins are suspiciously unknown.....

If anyone can help that would be great

[RT/10Dave]

Post up some pics if you can... That would help alot

[fozwanger]

I'll get some tonight.

There is a complete 2008 gen 4 engine in the classifieds why not go for that instead.

[fozwanger]

can't find it. Have you got the link?

It's noy going in a viper but a minor....... I've been offered a gen 4 but it's the drive by wire that'll be a problem otherwise i'd pay the extra for it unless someone knows different?
