Hello gents

I'm going this weekend to look at a 2tc , the engine is out of the car, any appaarent things I should be looking for besides the basic block crackage...

Compression you can check if it has a starter motor, battery and jump leads.

 

Other than that, completeness, and that the chain hasn't worn through the front cover (unlikely). Pain in the arse, and often expensive sourcing missing bits.

 

If keen, drain the oil and see if there is anything in it.

 

All gets down to how much it is and if you CBF.

What are these motors going for in price ! I don't wanna pay over what there worth..

Not alot I sold a engine with 130xxxkms, box, both crossmembers near new starter, and everything else to get it running for $300...

bad news , the head was cracked, there isnt alot of engines to choose from here in montana, I'm out of options for now, there's a rally in idaho this summer and it isnt looking good unless i just leave the 3kc in the car and do some modifactions, exaust, carb, and cam.

If you're not already, get onto 3tcgarage.com

 

You are likely to find everything you need there, and it's US based.

 

Presume you realise you need more than just the engine for the conversion, but all pretty much readily available over there.

did not know about that , thankyou i hate to stray away from here but ill go take a look
