MG Midget and Sprite General - New Zetec engine for sale

Just came across this.
Might interest someone? If you fancied doing a different engine upgrade its not a bad price for brand new!

That must be cheaper than doing a K-conversion? I'd consider buying one if I only had something to put it in.

135BHP from 2 litres? Doesn't seem much.

Hi Matt, l agree, seems a bit low.

I wasn't necessarily recommending it as the best conversion, but the price ain't bad for a complete new engine.

>>That must be cheaper than doing a K-conversion?

Actually, the cheapest K-conversion cost £130 complete (engine, parts, sundries).

Zetec has a cast block and ally head. Weighs approx 40lbs more than the Duratec. Cheaper though and no HGF issues!

Oh yes Guy I agree, was tempted to put a bid for the next project :-)
You get a hell of a lot of gear for £750.

"was tempted to put a bid for the next project :-)"


Ohno, the "next project"
Tarquin, when seeing how "fast" you finish one of your projects and keeping in mind you still have some to finish I dont think you live long enough to finish a new one even if you become 100 years.
LOL!!!!

Btw, is the guestroom ready yet?
Its only 2 weeks from now!!!

Seems to be the going rate for new Zetecs, I put one in a Morgan a similar E bay purchase, slightly cheaper than that, the bits to get it inline and running cost me more than the engine though.
