Free to a Good Home
Those of you who are aware of my soap opera from my other thread know that I threw a rod in my 1986 XJS and I am doing an LS3 conversion.
I do not have the time or means to part out this engine, so rather than selling it as $50 of scrap metal, it is free to anyone who wants it. So if you need a doner V12 engine, its all yours.
Some caveats:
I will not ship it. If you want to arrange for a shipper to pick it up...fine with me. The engine is in a shop and I will not be there to help with logistics though, but I am sure my mechanic will help out.
I cannot send you specific parts from it. Once again it is in a shop and I am not going to pay them to remove stuff. The whole engine or nothing I am afraid.
The engine will be pulled next week. That is when it will be available.
I am sure my shop would rather not be stubbing their toes on this for too long, so you will need to get it out of there within a few weeks.

OOOOOch!!!
1. Spun a bearing or two. Connecting rod/s stayed on the journal.
aka burnt a bearing or more...
2. Threw a rod. Rod busted and stayed in the crankcase. Engine quit.
3. Cut or sawed it in two!!! Racing terminology. Huge holes in block and sump. Engine quit...
1 & 2 fixable at great $'s.
3. Done for. strip off the ancillaries and scrap the rest. Alloy prices
might not be all that bad!!! Defray the costs of the Ls1!!!
