Selling my project as we're emigrating. Too much hassle to take a partial project with me. The project car is a MK1 MX5, but I've tried selling the whole project and no-one is brave enough, so stripping for parts. So, for sale is a 1994 LS400 engine. Was running nicely prior to removal...

Sorry bud, I think you have mis-read. I have a front sump, and was looking for a rear, but I have just made my own.

Hi, sorry for delay in getting back. Postage is ridiculous. Best quote is nearly £100 as can be seen here: https://www.parcel2go.com/Quote-page.aspx?m1=65&m2=20&m3=50&w=6.4&cm=1&dest=1&col=214&qty=1 Let me know what you think.

Hi. I'll package it up and put it on the scales in the morning. I only require postage costs, and the oil pick up from yourself. I'm off to find YOUR build thread now, lol.

Hey bud. Ok, I've found everything but the oil baffle. I have a nasty feeling it got tossed during my last clearout. I'll keep looking though. Got the two parts of the sump, the pick up, the dipstick and the low level sensor. Here's a pic..

Ok. I'll get some pics and get back to you in half an hour. Can we work out a deal where you get the sump and pick up, and I just get the pick up from you? Cheers.

Hi there. You know I'm in Scotland right? lol I eventually just made my own sump, but I've not made the oil pick up yet. I'll have a look for my old sump if you are still interested. Dave.

Well done! Got any pics or video of the conversion? I've had three 300ZXTT's, so I'm a fan of the car. Never thought of the conversion tho.

That should be "Stars", not "starts". I really should use a computer in the morning.

Yeah, I was starting to get really dis-heartened. It seemed that when I had cash, there were no gearbox's available, and when I was skint there were plenty. But finally the starts aligned correctly and both came along at the right time :D I'm going to be really sad and use some spacers and bits...

Wow!, thanks for that :) Lots of reading for me

Thought it was about time a updated this thread, lol. Got my gearbox today, woohoo! :D It's a w58 and has a remote linkage, but the seller also included a short linkage thingy, so I have a choice of where to locate the gearstick, depending on where everything lines up when I attach it to the...

Awesome, thanks for the offer. Been having a break from the V8 project, but aiming to get back into it next week :)

Cools, thanks. Order placed, should arrive shortly :)

Excellent, thank you very much.
