PRV Engine For Sale

Postby SteveWall » Fri Oct 30, 2015 11:59 pm

Hi I have a PRV V6 engine that has come out of a Ferrari Dino kit car, the engine does run but it has a knock when its hot. Would this be of interest to any one on hear? how much would it be worth? The engine is in North Yorkshire.

Thanks Steve

Whereabouts in North Yorkshire Steve?

Is it a b28e 2.8litre or 2.7 ?

Have you got any pictures?

I've sent you a PM through the forum with my phone number. I can help and come over and verify if it'll be a compatible engine :)

What's with that big metal contraption behind the oil filler? Is the CPR hiding down behind it?

It looks like an idle control valve or early auxiliary air valve or maybe an early crude cruise control.

It's not needed

It's certainly a lot of metal and plumbing simply for idle control!
