MGA engine
I am selling a complete MGA 1600 engine and the 4 speed trans that goes along with it. The engine has a blown head gasket and I have not inspected the pistons, but the valves, rockers, and pushrods are all in good shape. The transmission goes shifts into all 4 gears and reverse. Please make an offer

Note: the best way to contact John is probably to use the message board's built-in private message system. If you like, you can request his phone number or e-mail address and continue a dialogue by one of those modes.

Re: MGA engine
Does anyone know of any other places to list an ad like this where people who want it would see it? Since this is mostly a modified forum, there isnt as much interest in a stock motor.

Re: MGA engine
Try the MG Experience site
[www.mgexperience.net] or MG Cars Enthusiasts Club [www.mgcars.org.uk] ....these sites (along with British V8) represent the bulk of MG chat line activity. ......then of course there's ebay, Craigslist, Kijiji, Hemmings...... |

Re: MGA engine
You might also try britishcarforum.com.
But frankly, based on my experience, you'll probably have better luck on your local craigslist depending, of course, on your location. James |

Re: MGA engine
What is a good price for this? I havent really found any others for sale so I'm kind of at a loss at what to ask for it

Re: MGA engine
come on, someone has to know how much its worth? Also, I have since discovered the head was not blown, its still in good shape. and the rear axle is also for sale. So, a full MGA 1600 drivetrain in working condition. Anyone know what its worth?

Re: MGA engine
John-
Based on my own experience, a replacement MGB 1800 engine & trans is in more in demand than a MGA 1600 drivetrain which is needed only by a fellow who requires strict originality in his MGA. Just to get the ball rolling, a 1600 engine with a suspect head gasket is worth $200-$275, the trans about $100-225, and the banjo rear about $50.00 (yup, no kidding). There is currently a Craigslist (baltimore) listing selling an MGA 1600 engine and trans for $375.00. I'm presently looking for a scrap MGA trans with its case intact for an on-going project. Hope the above was helpful to you. regards, lee |
