Title: G40 engines. 8P gearbox
Post by: 40cent on May 10, 2011, 10:40:43 pm
Needing to free up a bit of space so have a few bits for sale if anyone interested.

1. G40 engine. Complete block, head and flywheel only. Engine had covered 100k before being removed from car which ran sweet as a nut.
Exhaust manifold and charger bracket currently attached. £400 **sold sold**

2. G40 block with damage to piston 4. This has caused slight scoring to the cylinder but might get away with a resleeve or ideal rebore etc. £100

3. Polo 8p gearbox. Not sure which model mk 3 this is from but used on a g40 gives shorter gears/faster acceleration. £90


All items are a bit hefty so collection from preston would be prefered
Any questions please feel free.

Would you be willing to split the first engine? That way I could take the block and Robin could take the head.

Like hayesey said is it really brand new get some pics up, especially for £150. I have been searching everywhere for heads as I needed one for my rebuild.  I paid £108 from a breakers couldn't find a new anywhere.

Yup brand spanker!

Got it today, ebay number 270740427955.

Part number is 030103265BX which i believe is for an NZ engine which is a 1.3 IIRC.

I'll just swap the exhaust valves over and lap them in.

If it turns out to be a 1.0 litre head then i have cocked up however the seller is ok for it to be returned if it is wrong.

Just comparing it to mine that I took of my G40, fair play looks pretty similar to me mate.

Could be on to a winner, cheap as fook as well if it's brand new

it's off a mk2 that, can see the fuel pump drive lobe on the cam.  You'll have to block up the fuel pump hole with a plate but otherwise ebay has given you some nice head

the exhausts and inlets are different on a g40 (not by  much but diff part number on the inlets and slightly longer). personally i'd get a machine shop to cut them in

Good head is always well worth having!

Cylinde head is all good. Has 8mm valve guides and doesn't need the fuel pump blank either. Happy days. Had it skimmed today so it's ready to have some G40 valves lapped in.
