driversdomainuk 8 Posted June 3, 2007 Hi I have finally started my Mi16 project. What I am doing, is giving myself a year or so - in this time I am starting to collect bits to build an engine for my hill climbing 205. I cant built it myself. However, I feel this will be a more interesting approach than buying an old used one and having to pay someone to strip it, and rebuild it without being involved with any of the work myself. So far I have won on eBay an alloy block which has all been cleaned up, also a rocker cover. My shopping list is as follows: baffled sump crank shaft conrods forged pistons high pressure oil pump spray bars liners head gasket cylinder head (which will have rally cams and BVH) Weber carbs (which I already have) water pump tensioners etc with timing belt starter motor alternator gearbox Is there anything else I have forgotten...? I can buy some of these things directly from Bosch (rotating electrics) cheaper than what our motor factors buy at...which is good and also SKF for timing belts etc... Probably work out more expensive than buying a used engine but 1. will be more of an interesting project and 2. I will know then engine is basically new. Once I have all the bits, I will ask my garage to put it all together and then find a suitable place to drop it into the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey G 3 Posted June 3, 2007 We reangled our own manifold and it worked very well, still being used on a car 3 years later with no cracking and making good power on a rolling road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If money isnt a very big issue and you are going to take your time with this project, i would go for a 4-2-1 manifold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BamBamGTI 0 Posted June 5, 2007 I would buy the shortened inlet and exhaust manifolds from the ebay shop http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Peugeot-Racing-Developments This means you dont have to muck about moving the radiator or re-weld the bulkhead. Although you'll have to supply original parts to them in exchange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
