1700 8v now sold

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Evening all
I'm having a clear out and have a complete(ish) 1700 engine. As you can see its an 8v hydraulic tappet engine code AR 30550. This puts it as being a 33 1.7 ☘
It has a flywheel but no clutch and I would recommend a strip clean and rebuild it was a carbed engine and ut has the manifolds and I can supply enough bits to build a linkage but no carbs ( would of been fitted with 40s ) I know some people are asking daft money for these . Make me an offer

Hi am looking for a 1.7 block. You say it just needs a strip and clean, does that mean the block internals are good and it doesn't need bearings or rings etc?

Have you heard it running?

Hi Col
I would of heard it run but it was many many yrs ago ( i stripped loads of 33s in the late 90s due to rust ) . I have no reason to believe theres anything wrong with it but i have to recomend its stripped and checked for piece of mind id personaly id always fit new shells as a matter of course and give the bores a good hone. This one doesnt look like its ever been apart so is unlikely to be anything but std on the mains or big ends.
If you only after a block i also have a 1.7 short motor ( block crank rods and pistons sump front and rear covers flywheel) ?

So I presume the short motor is in as good a condition as the full motor?

I'll pm you for further detail

Col

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Hi Col yeah i guess it is . I do have several bare 1.7 blocks aswell and an old 89mm race block

[sudboy1490]

So no internals with the bare blocks Inc the 89mm block?

Col

[LooLooSud33Spider]

No buf i do have a spare 1.7 crank

[LooLooSud33Spider]

This engine now sold

[sudboy1490]

Is the 1.7 short motor still available?

How much do you want for it?

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Hi Col
Id take 250 it turns over but its a little tight as its been stood for many years without heads on it . if you like i can strip it for inspection and ill drag a hone down the bores for you

Lou

[sudboy1490]

I'd need to ship it to the north east as well lou so it might well turn out to be a little rich for me considering it'll need a refresh as well

Sorry, col

[LooLooSud33Spider]

Due to change of plans this engine is now still available. 1700 8v from a 33 GCL. turns over nicely and largely complete no cadbs or Dizzy but will include linkage
