Wanted : 3.9 (or possibly a 3.5) v8 engine or discovery

Hi,

Anyone have a good 3.9 v8 engine for sale, I would consider a whole discovery? or a good 3.5 (as it sounds like I could bolt the efi setup straight on?) Ideally close to fife.

Cheers
Luke

Still on the lookout ideally something that doesn't need rebuilding and can be swapped straight in.

Cheers

Hi, thankyou for the offer but I think I'm looking for something I can see running and do a compression and coolant test on. I would need to strip a short block and have it pressure tested somewhere before building it back up, unless it has some top hat liners in it?

Cheers
Luke
