Hey guys,

To cut a long story short I've ended up with a brand new Ford Duratec 2.5l V6, complete with clutch and alternator etc. It's never tasted petrol in its life, and I need to shift it reasonably quickly as it's taking up space at my mechanics.

Where do you think would be the best place to get a decent amount for this? They don't seem to sell well on ebay, I suppose it's not where you look when you're looking to spend a fair whack on an engine.

Cheers,

Tom.
 
no one is going to buy it for a ford for a price that it's worth, I was thinking maybe a kit car forum yea :)

It was the wrong engine for my car...or so we thought, so bought a used one and shoved it in as I didnt have time to research it at the time, and i needed my car back. Turns out it was just for a mk3, so needed a different fuel rail that i couldve picked up for like £50 :|

Why ain't you on MSN cymatty?

yea but as I say, no one will pay new engine money for a mk2 mondeo generally =[
 
Noble Forum?

If there is a noble forum :p

I dont want prices as though as I was a shop, they're like £2.5k from powertorque....i'd be happy with less than half of that, but no one is gonna spend even that much for a mk2 mondeo as the car wont be worth that much.....for a kit car though it'd be a different story completely :)
 
You would struggle to sell it for a kit car, its a touch on the large side for most kit cars.

Although its brand new, it doesnt mean you can get good money for it, it all depends on S/H prices tbh, iirc you can source a reasonable mileage duratech for circa £700?

Exchange and mart used t5o be a good place to shift engines.

Hey fellas, I've got a brand new CSG-625 Ford Duratec 2.5l v6 engine here that was meant to be going in my Mondeo, but due to time constraints and slight differences between the later build of engine that this is and my car meant I just had to get a used engine to get the car back on the road. I later did some research and found there to be actually very little difference:

Basically around the 2001/2002 mark they changed the fuel rail system on the engine to a single, returnless feed. My car uses a feed and return system. After talking to Power Torque engineering, where the engine was originally purchased from, all that would be needed to make this engine fit into the older fords with a dual fuel line system would be a new fuel rail. I unfortunately found this out too late.

It's brand new, still on the crate and has never tasted petrol, and comes complete with a clutch and alternator too. All that's missing from the original purchase state of the engine is a water pump housing and an aircon pump, but i'm fairly sure that's not a massive issue. If it is, let me know and ill see what I can do to source some new parts for it :) It was just easier to take them from this whilst it was sat there than wait for a parts place to deliver them for me.

Perfect for a conversion / replacement / kit car.

Power torque sell these for aprox £2.5k, ill be happy with half of that as it's taking up room at my mechanics and it needs to be gone, so lets call it £1250 ONO.

This engine is the CSG-625, on the left:

This is the exact engine that is used in the Noble m12, so those of you looking at turboing out easily expect the right side of 300bhp. A lot of contour guys in the USA run these at 300bhp+

Any questions, give me a shout.
