Hi all
I’m chasing a 7 series turbo long motor if anyone has one they’d be willing to sell
Thanks
Wanted : B23ET, B230ET or B230FT long motor
Why not use a non turbo engine instead? Then add the turbo onto it
- Edited
ramrod would prefer to find an ET /FT turbo engine

This.
Because old turbo engines do have increased bore wear.
You don't really need sodium-filled exhaust valves to make a strong and reliable turbo engine.
Building up an 'L' block NA B230 from a late 240 / 940 is going to be a better, more reliable starting point - it will have less bore wear, 13mm rods, the higher volume oil pump, and either be pre-drilled for squirters or have them fitted.
Fitting a B23-anything into a post-1986 car is going to be a hassle legally.
That, and, the ease of acquisition of said engine block
There’s about ten non turbo 740’s for every turbo variant
They’re just too rare now
ramrod Plus 740Ts are mostly centre thrust, weak rods with LH2.2 anyway.
I've got a long motor. B230ft out of 89 740 Was a running.. had a reco head fitted not that long again. I'm located moss vale. 2577. Pm if interested
