Hi Guys,
I'm clearing some parts out to raise more funds for my next trip. I have images of all the following parts if anyone is interested let me know.
All the parts came from either a MK2 C-V8 or a 383 engine.
brake pedal
coil
crank damaged but regrindable
exhaust spacer
external oil filter pipes
flex plate
flex plate
front springs original
fuel tank
fuse box cover
gearbox oil cooler aftermarket part to do away with cooler inside the original radiator
handbrake cable
heater valve no idea of quality of this
hi flow water pump
kb pistons very low mileage oversize
master cylinder reservoir
new cam 440 source
new points
oil pump drive
old cams one of these is a comp cams hi perf unit (very good midrange)
original ex manifold not great but servicable
original fans
original intake manifold
original water pump
original wiper motor not sure if it still works
original heads fitted with valves and springs that have done very little work
pedal box
radio I never got it to work but then again never tried
rear bump stops
rear bumper mounts
remote oil filter plate
rockers
roller followers very little use, easy power!
ropey balancer nothing fundamentally wrong but looks rough
spare wheel carrier
std cam followers
swirl pot1 vital for fuel injection particularly if you like to play!
swirl pot2 as above but better
tacho no idea if it works (it came with the car when I bought it)
torque converter
torque converter
valves, springs and collets all low mileage
Most of the engine parts are the result of my search for more power. They have done very little work and have been replaced by bigger and better items.

The stuff left over from this advert will end up on E-bay but I'd much rather sell it to a Jensen owner.

Some of these parts are heavy, I can arrange postage but I'll get quotes first.

Ian

Hi Simon,

As Grant says I am in Horley (very near Gatwick) not that close to them there wolds!

Hi Grant,

I'll measure the pistons and send you a photo, they were fairly high compression if memory serves but I have been to sleep since then.
Might be easier if I bring them to work and you come and have a look if your down this way.

Hello Ian, many thanks for your reply.. Yes sure, I guess that's best if you take them to work with you and I'll wizz down, rather than measure them maybe they have a part number on them and I could work it out from there, I don't want you to go to a load of work measuring and sending pics etc.. if you let me know when they are at your shop I'll come and see you Ian :wink: .. many thanks sport :P

Either of these will work for fast road or even track use, the only reason I changed was for extra capacity (very specific to what I was doing) and ran both of these at one time or another on track.

Thanks Ian,
Read that I will need one but did not appreciate the number of flow return and vent lines, I need to think this through or I’ll have fuel lines all over the place.
Regards
John

Hello Alan
The radio is a period Balupunkt but I have absolutely no idea whether it works, the wiring was such a mess behind it it is unclear whether it was the car or the radio that wasn't working. £20
I know I have the cable from the lever to the axle but will have to look whether I have the other parts to the 'calipers'. £10.
