Nice lump for those with a larger chassis.

And probably the "ecu and auxilliaries" will cost a bundle after the auction!

Definitely a nice engine but you can pick up complete cars with all the stuff needed to get it running (ecu, engine loom etc) for less.
Cheers,

as said you could probably get a whole for near the same money and that way you'd have everything from the gearbox and diff to all the
electrics
but what a nice engine, wonder how fast it would be able to get the aerodynamic brick to

From what I've heard, they have a problem with cooling such that the 4 rear most (2 per bank) don't get warm enough after starting and
hence they tend to oil up/foul up and the result is that most people with these engines end up driving around with a V8 anyway.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
