Xflow engines, are they worth anything ?
steve m - 3/4/09 at 07:06 PM

I have about 3 1600-1700 xflow engines
knocking about in my garage, all in various bits,
question
are they actually worth anything, or shall i just offload them to the metal scappy ?
seems a shame. with all the money that went into them

Put them on the passion ford site and they will take them

i put my old 1700 short engine on ebay last year and it went for £150.it had been out of the car for 12years and the guy that bought it was chuffed at the bargain he got!!!!

Get them into the back of Classic Ford or on Turbo Sport and Old skool ford , still very much looked for by lots of people [despite the zetez, duratec and pinto crews]

G and S escorts are advertising 711m engines @£350
so dont give them to the scrappy!!

If youwere closer we'sd be paying youa visit

I stuck my knackered (billowing blue smoke) 1.6 Xflow on ebay a couple of years ago. I was totally honest about it, but someone bid it up to £200 and drove a round trip from London to pick it up, what's more, he was chuffed with it !

I can't imagine them, dropping in value since then

1600 711 engines are worth money (as UncleFista says at the very least £200 for a knackered one) especially if they have a few rebores left in them - pre 711 1600s not so much and 1300s about £50.......

I've been looking for a 1600 711 needing a rebore/rebuild but I'm not paying £250ish for one

suddenly i'm feeling rather flush.....

got a virgin 1600, 1630 and 1700ax block all sat in the garage

Yeh don't scrap them. I'd be interested myself if you were a bit(a lot)nearer. I'd be well chuffed if I could get a 1700 xflow for 100 quid, even though i've already got two smaller xflows and two zetecs to play with.
