B6304 & B6254 engine/bits.
 

Testing the water here. I have a B6304 engine that I was going to use in my kit car. Long story short, plans have changed and I'm going to T5 my kit car instead. It had a cylinder head skim, valve seats and valves cut, de-coked, engine bores were de-glazed, trigger wheel welded to crank pulley, new pistons and piston rings (turbo pistons), new head gasket and bolts. The engine is all assembled and has run, has no ancillaries, plastic cam cover isn't present, the cams may need timing (it was either that or the fuel/ignition control I was using, I only ever got it idling, not tuned, and it would rev but was bogging down a little). The sump is modified so it would fit in my kit car better, I have a spare standard sump from the engine below:

I also have a B6254 block, intermediate block, sump, pistons and conrods (in bits)

Other bits: couple of the stubby intake manifolds and lots of coil packs.

Are these worth anything? or would it be better to break them for parts? I have no plans for them anymore so it would be nice to get some cash for them. If anyone wants any more information or photos then let me know :thumbs_up:

Would be nice to hang on them and build a straight six turbo 245 but I lack the time, space and money :D

sounds nice

probably out of my price range though...

It's hard to put a value as it's not exactly a commonly used engine in projects. I'd guess that when these are bought it's to replace duff engines in 960s. I realise there's no way I'm going to get what I paid for the parts/machine shop work. May as well float a figure about... £350 for the lot (that's less than I paid just for the pistons :p )

Also forgot to mention I have a couple of sets of cams (early 90s i think around 1992)

Feel free to PM offers, I won't be offended

what was the kit car you were going to plug this into?

I put it in an MK Indy

thats a sweet looking kitcar mate!

Thanks, needs a good wash though! :D

'kin 'ell.... I would have loved to have driven that :-)

nutter!

I was going to say "Caterham" but thought that the volvo engine would rip the back wheels off (seeing as they fly with smaller engines in them...!)

have you replaced the engine with something else then? If so, what was wrong with the 6304?

I'm going to replace it with a T5, whilst the straight six does fit I'm not happy with the leg room. With a 5 (or even 4) cylinder whiteblock I could move the gearbox forward a tad to free up some room to space the pedals out better, and have a more straight forward mounting for the alternator to boot, and I could use the standard ECU instead of tearing my hair out mapping megasquirt :thumbs_up:

have you still got the b6304 sump spare as i could do with one to modify to fit my amazon project currently the sump is 1" off the floor and what do you want for it

thanks tom
