360 GLS engine (2ltr 8v) - £100 anyone?

Post by **stuartB** » 01 Dec 2008 05:54 pm

as above, ono?

its done 76k ish, oil change about 100 miles ago

not ragged too severly, pulls well. makes a lovely noise, probably ideal for boring out to 2.3 or whatever.

i really have no idea how much its worth...

if anyone can think of a better price, let me know. ill just be happy to see it go to a good home rather than the scrapyard, its begging to be blown or bored (or both)

Its worth what you are asking to someone who need an engine. The trouble is for most of us on here we would want a 2.3 to replace the 2ltr with. You could possibly be better off offer the head as a seperate item as you should get around £40 - £50 for that alone and it could be posted that way.

is this the early B19A engine ?

Post by **stuartB** » 17 Dec 2008 12:47 am

umm.. dunno

engine code is 19000016229, if that helps? 1986CC, built 1984 (Breg)

its a GLS, single stromberg (i think) carb SOHC 8v

is that the 19A?

Black cam cover=b200
Silver cam cover=B19

That'll be a B19 with that carb

In that case I'd say it's more desirable, and if I wasn't already up to my *rse in engines I'd have it for my 360.

B19 on the strom is flipping gorgeous to drive, much better than the solex. Pickup is smooth, no dead spots, and it just pulls continously.

kind of drives like a diesel...Loads of Tork, quite quick, but doesn't rev as well as a B200...

Im very keen with this engine...If I would ever replace it, it will be a B23a I think.

Isn't that the other way round? I always thought B200s were less revvy. Have to say I've never driven a B19-engined 360 though ...
