Description:

My original race engine (bought on Ebay in a car ) which has done in my ownership 3 meetings and 5 races.  Always ran very well until it ran No.3 big end at Silverstone MG Live Equipe GTS race 2.  Fortunately I stopped very quickly and so no real damage has been done though the crank will require a regrind.  I have a spare MGB crank on standard sizes, so with a polish or regrind and some new bearings and a gasket set, it will be good to go.

The last dyno run (June 17) at Burgess gave 150 hp on a Weber 45 with 40mm chokes.  See the video link for its last run out car 57 red MGB on the left.

Overall spec:

1. - Peter Burgess Race Head in very good condition and checked over mid season.  Was compression checked and we had a leak which was the head gasket which was replaced with a steel one (£140)  A new head from Peter Burgess is circa £1200 and you will need a 2709 casting (about £250)

2. - ARP Head studs and nuts/washers as installed when head gasket changed (£150)

3. - 719 Cam and Vernier fitted (3000 -7000rpm)

4. - Forged pistons

5. - Race distributor

6. - Fitted with 4 synchro back plate  and flywheel but 3 synchro plate and gearbox available.

Missing items, WYSIWYG but the rocker shaft is also missing.

I am happy to discuss options to rebuild the engine for the new owner but most will want to choose their own path.

Options to use ;

1. - As is with repaired bottom end (£250 tops) in CSCC Swinging 60's or similar

2.- With repaired bottom end and new liners and forged pistons (£250 + £1000 as a good 1840cc stand by FIA motor

I also have  a second 1950cc short motor with cast pistons, make a good road engine please call for details

Either way it is a very cheap race engine.  Price is to take it away as is, please call for other options.  07935 219 942
