Yes, it was an engine that I saw in a skip. No room for it and was going to be dumped... So I closed in on it!
406's don't have 10mm heads, I just had a spare 10mm head lying about
I haven't really done much, the backbox exploded and I replaced it with a pipe. Does the job!
The skip engine has done almost 6k miles so far and is due an oil change during the week, I'll probably get that done at the weekend.
A vid of it in action (it does get a little loud in places, not as loud as in real life though):
The front came back well despite its meeting with the ditch, which ripped the front of the car off... Still needs a lot to sort that but it's cosmetically alright and crucially the legs aren't bent
Cold starting is comedy as the glows have failed
I'll poke my head in here again soon
