    1800 X Flow for sale

    Due to unforeseen circumstances, my old 1800 X Flow AX Blocked race engine is back up for sale
    It is an ax block with 85.9mm bore with 77.6 stroke giving just under 1800cc.
    It has a steel crank and rods with 85.9mm acralite pistons. Ht racing head with the largest valves you can fit without offsetting the valves. It has a lightened flywheel designed for a 7.25 inch clutch. The engine is dry sumped at the moment, but can easily converted back to wet sump, buy changing the sump, changing the oil pump and adding a pick up and dipstick. Selling the dry sump kit will offset the cost of these items. It comes with an inlet manifold but no induction as I used the throttle bodies on my pinto. It was designed to run management, so dosent come with a dizzy, but the trigger wheel is fitted to run management if you require. I'm looking for £5000 for it with the Tony Law exhaust manifold, brise starter, injectors, 90mm trumpets for 45mm jenvey throttle bodies and dry sump tank included in the price

    Re: 1800 X Flow for sale

    Good morning.

    Thanks for alerting me Graham. The engine was last freshened up in 2012 by HT Racing, who share premises and a rolling road with Vulcan near brands hatch. The engine was not used for competition in 2012 all bar a couple of track days to set the car up ready for the 2013 season.
    The car competed in the 2013 QMN Championsip, which consisted of 8 meetings. Each of these meetings had a 15minute qualifying and 2 15 minute races. So for that year the engine run for approx 6 hrs.
    For the 2014 season the engine was not used as we went to the pinto engine.

    The cam is a Kent 264 but I'm afraid I don't have any internal pictures as although I would build my own road engine, the race engines I leave to the professionals.

    I will check my emails in case it went into junk
