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) ?

Louise

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

I'll pm you for further detail

Col

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

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

Col

No buf i do have a spare 1.7 crank

This engine now sold

Is the 1.7 short motor still available?

How much do you want for it?

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

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

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
£400
