Thought it was about time that i started my build thread for this as I've had it a while now. This car used to be KEEN VR until it was taken apart and then sold. We won't go into that story anyway
 
This is what it used to look like
 

 
This is the picture i was sent when buying
 

 
This is when it arrived
 

 

 

 
I'm not putting the ones up of how the bay was when i got it as it will make me cry lol But i decided to sell lots of bits off it to regain some money
 
 

 
after i tripped the engine down, cleaned it all up and painted it
 

 
Carbon fuel cap for it

 
 
 
 

I will go first!

schimmels does a high flow one. looks well worth the money

hello, unfortunately the time has come to sell my 3.0 forged block. The block is fully rebuilt and is turned over every week religiously by myself. here is the spec.
 
3.0 overbored vr6 block
shot peened rods
Forged Mahle mopisan 82.5mm pistons with brand new rings from stealth motorspoort
New - Calico black bearings top to bottom
Fully balanced
All pistons now weigh the same. They were 15+ grams out so have been sanded with 200 grit paper to get them all within .5 grams of each other.
New rod top heat treated bushes pressed in and reemed out using 3000 grit.
Block has been magnafluxed to check for cracks and wear.
All water and oil jackets/galleries shocked using a 2mm boroscope.
New roose Motorsport black silicone oil to cooler hoses
Polished integrated Engineering Billet crack pipe
Modified sump with manganese plated bottom. (hard enough to be driven on)
Genuine oil pump
Polished cam chain covers
Polished aux belt tensioner
new intermediate bearings
New core plugs
Chrome plated dipstick
Chrome plated water pump pulley.
Polished oil filter housing
24k gold plated bolts holding auxilarry bracket to engine
polished rear engine mounting bracket
 
I also have a mocal oil cooler set up that can come with the engine and end cap with longer bolt from UM for a price.
 
I also have a bare head that has been chemically dipped over night to remove all grim and grease. It has also had a very light skim nd new guides fitted to it.
 
I will include the custom made trolley for it and any/all spares i have for the engine such as crank seals etc.
 
The engine is located in stockport.
 
Asking price is £1100 with the head. This is priced for a quick sale. I am open to close offers though if it means it goes quicker.
