Thoughts on this engine donor

Just spoken to the seller - sound like it's a good'un..
He only wants £250 for it - I couldn't buy a 2.3 engine for that kind of money - let alone one with only 41k on it!

I'm confused here. That rover has the same engine as the H23A?

Apparently

I bloody hope so, not only am I going to shell out cash for it, I'm going to have to schlep halfway up the country and drive it back to Bournemouth!
It better bloody do!

Looks totally different to the H23 engines I've seen..

Maybe I'm stupid.

H23 non vtec nitin, alot of old rovers used honda engines, more along the lines of the old d series that were in civics.

This is mine (without the heatshield):

compared to the Rover:

89 UKDM BA4 4WS (resto job!) · Post by **wurlycorner** » Fri May 02, 2014 7:05 pm

Whack an h22 back in the rover after and you could sell it back on for a profit!
