43k mile 7A engine with piper cams

[Error404]

My low mileage 7A engine is available, I've included everything I can think of required to retrofit this as an engine swap, into a Type85 for example.
Before anyone says its expensive for a 7A, yes it is - but I could break the engine into bits for the same amount, and it seems like a real shame to do that to such a rare commodity, so I'd rather someone took it as it is and used it properly rather than split it into parts.

I am unsure of the output but it feels around 185-190hp. - its is easily the fastest 7A I have driven. With some modern injectors and a remap I think it would clear 200hp.

Bit of history, I bought the engine off another forum member who had removed it from an uninsured write-off coupe in 1994, then dry stored until I bought it in 2011.


The engine itself has a couple mods:

Piper cams, S2 windage tray and an S2 oil thermostat housing fitted.

Nice motor, i agree its too good to break, you will find the right home for it with some patience

If I had my old CQ, I would rip your hand off for this. I always wanted a 20v but could never find one in good nick until I didnt want/need one. A pearl white one came up a while back that I was nearly tempted with despite not needing 4 cars at the time. Kinda wish I had bought it now.

Unfortunately its too expensive to ship to South Africa, but I`m interested in the cams.. I`m sure you dont want to sell them seperately..

what spec are they? what difference did it make to the engine over standard?

Would be a shame to break but if you do I'am looking for a cyl head.

What gains did you get with these cams over the stock ones?
