It's a M50B20 engine IIRC - is that the right one for you?

Yes mate, drove the car 88 miles home and it ran fine, no leaks, rattles, good power etc.

Will hopefully get it out of the car tomorrow. I take it you're interested then.

Hi, as you hadn't got back to me, I had to buy one elsewhere. Thanks for trying.

Bummer, spent the afternoon draining the fluids and dismantling the front of the car to make it easier to get the engine out tomorrow, sorry I didn't reply quick enough frown

Anyone else want a good M50B20 engine with a superchip?
