Wanted: 1600 Kent 711M engine

bretto40 · 16-07-2007, 10:14 PM

Hi guys

I am looking for a 1600 Kent 711M motor. It has to be a 711M and I am not looking for anything that has had any work on it (that's the fun stuff that I want to do myself).

I don't mind too much what condition it's in so long as it's nothing drastic, like seized. One that is known to be a "running" engine would be preferable.

Thanks guys!

P.s. I am in ACT, so anything in the NSW/ACT region would be great, may be willing to go to Victoria but would have to be getting a good deal.

Its a model of block. It maens that it has thick cylinder walls that allow lots of boring out....

By the way,

For those of you don't know, to tell if you have a 711M block sitting around you just have to look at the block casting number which appears (can't rememeber which side of the block) at the bottom sort of near the sump.

If it's a 711M the casting number will begin with 711M

Don't quote me on this but I think all of the Kent motors in the MK2 Escorts were all 711M motors, so there should be plenty around I suspect.
