Very interesting! Worth preserving just in and of itself!

Looks like bespoke cylinder heads for these engines then?

Seem genuine?

Well, 18 bidders seem to think so, and are prepared to pay $2,225.00 for it (so far).

Interesting find, Shimon ...

My response to that was not disimilar to Pavlov's dogs.

Someone ring a bell..................I dare ya!!!

Any idea what block that will be on??????

B19 if there is a higher force

ME TOO!

Currently at $3,000.00

going off the engine mounts that engine was installed in a 140. The block will be of the B21/B32/B19 type (its supposed to be 2ltr so B19 I should think) You can see that head gives enough room for the side mounted dizzy with no clearance isues. The falne pattern for teh inlet manifold looks a bit odd? For RHD aplications I think that head would cause worse clearance problems with the clutch cylinder and brake servo (definite problem on 240's).

Price is quite low at the moment, here it would sell for something over 10K

Bidding has ended........
Would've gone nice in me 360 ....... But I'm wondering how genuine this is, maybe a lump like this would've been built for the touring car 240s..... I dunno.

240 touring cars ran b21 turbos. This engine is a genuine Rallycross engine by the looks of it.

These engines were sold separately from the dealer in the 80's and of course the factory 343 rally cross car ran these in the later versions. Engine volumes varied from 2l to over 2.8l
