Post by Carts »

Hi all.

Looking for a 501 engine, my 478 been stripped down and need some work doing so looking at options one is to get a 501 strip and rebuild than a put that in my 350 frame

Don't discount importing an Excalibur from Spain, if you see one.

That will be dificult to buy only a 501 motor in Spain. Like Mickey said, it would be easier to find a complete (no running?) Excalibur

I have a 99% complete X2 501 here in Italy, a bit of a waste to break it, but I have an X2 engine in a 350 and it's very enjoyable!

Thanks hombre

Yes would be a shame to split, but your call. I have a 478 engine and probably end up refurbishing that’s and putting it in.

If you do want to sell the engine please pm me

Yes I am, trouble is that if I ship it with a regular courier or mail we'll probably have high extra costs for imports, customs etc. Maybe this can be avoided if someone can bring it along as part of the luggage? I'll be in Amsterdam in may, I have the engine in Italy now.
