Hi all, Am after a Ford X/flow 711M 6015 BA bare block, it does't matter if it has a hole in the side or is wrecked either, although i don't want to sacrifice a good usable engine either.

Does anyone have any contacts they can give me who might have an old 1600 engine buried at the back of their garage?

Or any ideas where i might be able to get one from away from here ?

Am very close to getting my car IVA'd, hence why I'm asking for a bare engine lump ;)

Sorry, I can't think of anywhere obvious. All the cars they came in are worth money now.

You could try asking on one if the kitcar Facebook groups in case someone with a kit replaced theirs with a Zetec.

Hi guys, I did ask Steve as I know him well, but he didn't still have his car when i got mine back.
I'm now thinking of getting an age related stamp code stamped on the engine as the donor was a 77 plate so i could put that on anyway I think and only two numbers are still visible where they should be before the block was skimmed previously?

Hi Scotty,

I don't want a runner, as i don't want to waste and scrap a good engine just for what i need it for, but thanks anyway.
