B230ET motor for re-build
 

Looking for a B230ET Engine with ancilliaries and loom for re-build to put into my 240. prefferably in the central scotland area but not essential.

let me know what you have!

willing to buy a full car?

Just an idea...a late-model (1997, 1998) B230FK is highly unlikely to need a rebuild, and with a cam swap and a suitably sized turbo will make essentially the same power as an ET. The ET has the 'desirable' 531 cylinder head...but there's barely any advantage until you start working on the head. The ET is also highly likely to have the weaker con-rods.

I have a B230ET engine. Although it is quite old I understand the mileage is quite low. Some work will be needed but certainly not a complete rebuild. I also have the turbo and Motronic unit. Although, I don't have a wiring harness.

Let me know if you are still interested and we can talk about it

lum has a b230 for sale excellent condition and low miles

Indeed, I have, wont need rebuilding either. Can't help with the loom though.

I believe my work will be sending me up Scotland way at some point in January, dunno if the engine will fit in the back of my company car (Mondeo) though :)

Easily. It might be worth splitting the head and block though. Is there a hoist at each end? The blocks aren't light. It's quite a lift even for two people, especially if the boot has a lip you need to lift it over.

It's also worth mentioning that I wouldn't use the original Motronic system...1980s fuel injection technology (with no knock detection, for example) deserves to stay in the 1980s! I'd use the LH-Jet 2.4 system (ECUs from a 940 turbo, loom from a late 240), which is pretty much as good as 'modern' EFI.

cheers
