Can you still source brand new engines? or new assembled bottom ends?

I think they have stopped supplying engines for TR7's - a few years back they were selling them off on special offer.

Indeed, Rimmers no longer supply complete new engines, but they do offer a full rebuild kit with a brand new block & pistons included - you just have to put it together yourself!

I think they also offer the rebuild kit without the block, if yours is reusable.

Don't know of anyone that now has complete brand new engines available.

What's wrong with your's then, John?

When I had mine rebuilt, I had to get another head on here (from a very nice man) and I was able to keep the bottom. With the amount that are still out there, it should be sill easy enough to pick up a good one and have it reconditioned.

When I warped the head on My car, I bought the whole kit from Rimmerbros, you can build a whole engine off their site from nothing if you wanted to, but I reused some parts to save money, the biggest issue I had was I paid as much in shipping (to get it to Southern California) as I did for the whole engine. So far other than tuning that I just cant seem to figure out its working just fine. My original plan was to re build the original block so I would have a spare, but now I've got a friend with a SR20 engine out of a Nissan hes gonna give me and i'm going to swap that in at some point. Because ~400 HP turboed engine in these light cars sounds like a lot of fun.
