HELP - R1 engine wanted

2002/03 R1 injection engine wanted

Hoping someone can help me. I am desperate to locate an engine for my MK Indy. Bought one last year which was mint but it has been pressed into action in my mate's R1 Mini rally car. I am now at the stage where I am totally stuffed for doing anything else on the car until I get an engine.
Can't seem to locate one anywhere and gettting big time frustrated reading about all you guys getting yours on the road. Please tell me someone can help before I do something rash and add to the list of part finished cars for sale.

Have you tried Colibriman?

Thanks Pete but he can't seem to get hold of one for me. Starting Friday I have two weeks off work that I had set aside to try and get the car finished. If someone can rescue the situation I would jump in my car and drive anywhere to pick one up.

Unfortunately the one on ebay is an older carb model. I need an injected 5PW engine. Already have the clocks for the 5PW and the fuel pump which I have modified the tank for as it mounts in the tank.

Got the first engine off Sidenet but there hasn't been anything on there for ages.

They are out there. We have picked up two in the last couple of weeks. Both off EBAY and both 02/03. One complete but with small damage to loom and the other minus loom. Unfortunetly we need them both, as they are going in a pair of strikers.

Anybody got a loom for these?

Ben.

I can supply one - need to check year of manufacture first of all. What's your budget? (U2U me)

Sorry, it was a 2001 carb' engine

Thanks anyway Steve.

Sell your loom and tank to Ben and get a carbed one from Steve, sorted.
