I didn't see an oil tank listed. Did I miss it?

Condition of engine unknown... sounds like it's the 4 to 6 cylinder engine mount bar instead of the bulkhead mount. Carbs or CIS?
Don't know the condition of the muffler... used could mean fine or a rusty hunk of crap. Yes, you need the oil tank and lines or something to take their place. At it's current price it is a good deal. More than $2K and it gets questionable unless you know more about the components... i.e., engine rebuild, etc. Keep us posted. |

regardless..its the 2.7..from what I have read from many sources, its a pile of crap, head studs pulling out and other nice things. They seem to start falling apart past 50-60 k. But if it runs ok...you will probably have fun..until it dies.

He,he....actually there is a lot of truth in what you say. 2.7s can be a stinker ....in stock form.
Like any other 9eleben motor, bring a wheel barrow full of money and they can be rebuilt to an acceptable level of longevity. I bought this pile for 500 bucks (long block) and spent *some* money on it. It wurks. |

2.7's can and do pull headstuds from time to time and the tensioners definitely need the Carrera update.
Cases can be cert'd. 2.7's with RS pistons, webers, S or E cams and headers are actually a nice motor. Do you homework before you buy one, though, or buy it from YOUR mechanic with the understanding that if not as represented he fixes at his own expense. |
