HowardRoark Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Hello all, i am looking for an Esprit V8 918 engine block for my (USA) 99 Esprit V8. I am rebuilding my engine and my tech x-rayed my block and he found cracks and pitting in it. He said it was from sitting with coolant in it for some time. Please let me know if you know of an engine block for sale! Preferably from 2000-2004. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redshift Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Howard, it might be worth giving South West Lotus in the UK a call. They often have reconditioned V8 engines available http://www.thelotuscentreonline.co.uk/epages/sdctukef2v6v.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/sdctukef2v6v/Categories/Esprit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardRoark Posted May 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thank you Pete. I do see that they have a few reconditioned engines. I sent them a note to see if they have a block for sale. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardRoark Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 New engine block and Pistons received from SJ Sportscars. Very relieved to find that they had one for sale. On to the rebuild of the 918. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
