Anyone after a Crossflow?
Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2014 6:17 pm
Hi All,
I've been doing a Crossflow->Zetec swap in my Fury for the last few years (but feels like forever). I had every intention to sell my Crossflow when it first came out, I even had a friend of a friend who was super keen to buy it but disappeared off the face of the earth when it came to paying me! Consequently said crossflow got put in a corner of the garage and forgotten about until now.
Now some details about the engine. I don't have a huge amount of info, all I have is what I can see and what was passed onto me by the previous owner when I bought the Fury:
1600cc 711M (711M6015BA) (I think the MOTs say 1660cc)
Engine - from lotus seven*
Cam - Kent A2
Pistons - twin cam cut outs
Head - Early mexico head, big valves & rocker pillars (inlet 41.5mm, exhaust 34.5mm)
Clutch - 7.5" competition clutch (AP/Borg&Beck)
Flywheel - lightened and balanced
Carbs - twin dellorto DHLA 40's
*I have no evidence to say that it is from a lotus seven but nor do I have anything to say that it's not. It's just what was written in the build docs/diary I received from the previous owner.
I don't know the real mileage but I do know that it's done 15762miles since it was put in my Fury in 1995. (I've MOT certificates going back for the duration)
I also have the 4-speed gearbox it was running with. It's a lightweight type-2 box. The box appears to have a leak, I never did find out if it was the seal in the tail section or in the front of the box.
The engine was running with a lumenition electronic ingnition which I also still have, the mechanical fuel pump was removed and blocked off, the sump is shortened.
The engine has sat in a dry garage since removing but hasn't run for a long while and I'm sure it probably has a bit more surface rust by now. It was running when removed from the Fury though.
I've put a bunch of pictures up on dropbox here.
I should probably put on here how much I'm asking but I really have no idea so even if you've no interest but have an idea of what it's worth please let me know!
Anyone interested?
Cheers,
Neil
