Surely nobody would be mad enough to pay the asking price, or any price for that pile of scrap.:fail

 

[martyz]

In a word NO. It has no fuel injection distributor,lines and associated bits,oh and air box.

 

[NDFR]

I can't see that running again.

 

[Ash Bhp]

Wtf, no

 

[Dave Richardson]

No way

That looks like it has seen better days, if your after a 560 v8 drop me a pm.

I'm sure there has been something else ludicrously priced from this seller in the last few months. I recognise the Victorian bath in his other auctions... Thought it was the old SEC that had been damaged by cattle, but that was another seller...

It looks like he's been storing it in the local canal.

It is scrap (with a silent S)

 

[keg]

possibly not in good condition.

 

[tanuie]

Not even worth 50 pounds let alone 550.

The engine itself could be good, as it very difficult to judge from the exterior. But as this one has been exposed to the elements for a considerable time I reckon most of the ancillaries should be viewed as scrap.

Then again strip the engine to just the block and heads, paint the exhaust manifolds & block,clean the inlet manifold along with power coating the r/covers - bingo a fully recon motor!

In a nutshell, I'd just contact Carat 3.6. Job done.

I'd never judge an engine by how it looks.

 

[ahok19]
