I have a complete running 1.7 Essex V4 with gearbox still attached recently removed from my swb camper as I’m fitting a 1.9 VW tdi engine now, the V4 is fitted with a serviced Webber 34ICH carb, brand new old stock distributor fitted with Accuspark electronic ignition and a matching high output coil, new ignition leads and spark plugs, brand new water pump and most hoses replaced and a brand new old stock glass top fuel pump along with new engine oil and filter, I did all this in preparation to use before changing my mind on engine choice. It has done no miles since all the service items were fitted and I’ve never driven the van on the road with this engine apart from in my garden and running it in my workshop as I bought the van having been off the road for 7 years, it’s quite oily but I think that is from a leaky valve cover gasket. It could be run on the floor as it is as it’s all complete with starter motor still attached as well. I want £250 for it no offers.
I also have two I believe to be 2.0 Essex V4 engines, I was told they were 2.0 when they came as spares with my van but I’ve never checked them myself, condition of them is unknown and they are complete as far as I remember (one/both might be stripped but all bits there in boxes) but they are buried in my workshop and I’ve not looked at them since buying my van 2 years ago so can’t remember fully. I want £100 each for the 2.0 engines. I’m near Launceston Cornwall. Cheers
