GhiaMk4/5 206 Posted November 20, 2016 Have you thought about using the 2.9, got one in a mk5, it previously had a 2.8 in it and I blew that up, 2.9 touch wood is much smoother and flexible engine imho, though I will probably go back to 2.3 as that is it's original spec.

martog 128 Posted November 21, 2016 Are you looking for an engine? If so, i have a 2.8 V6 out of a mk2 Granada that was very good but has done 2 Banger meetings. Did not try to get running again as we stripped the car after the second meeting. This was a while ago now (2008). Will need the sump bashing back out, no carb (we ran a 38 DGAS), no water pump (has a blanking plate fitted (still has!!!), and no rocker covers, flywheel or front crank pulley. Will take an offer on it if your intrested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
