1600 Xflow

[Guest Mark P]

To my biggest shock, I have found out that my beloved 1600 xflow engine is actually a 1300 :boohoo:

 

Where is the best place to get a 1600 from??

 

The annoying thing is that I pay insurance and tax for the 1600!! :angry:

 

Any help would be great.

 

Mark.

Mark,

 

I have a 1600xflow thats sat in the back of my garage, I had it was in my mk1 escort for a very short while before I changed it for a 2lt.

 

Its had new rings on it, but I think theres a jet missing from the carb.

 

Was running fine, but has been sat there for a good 3 years (in the dry)

 

If you want it I'm after £75, I'm in Bucks though!

 

If your interested e-mail me @ sasdarren@cat-itsolutions.com

if only you were here in january you could have had a 1700 x-flow with 40s for next to nothing now the only thing left is a complete tiger racing exhaust

Thanks for the offer, just a quick question if you don't mind.

 

on the exhaust side there should be a number on the bottom of the block (about 20mm high in size) What is it??

 

the reason I ask is that I want to modify the block and there is a certain type which is recommended.

 

Any info would be great

If it is a crossflow, you want a 711 block to bore out to 1700'ish

[Guest Mark P]

Yeah,

 

That's right, some of the early engines aren't 711m though and aren't ideal for tuning.

[Guest Darren.S]

No. on the block is 711M6015BA!

 

Means nothing to me, but hope it helps.
