just got a call from a mate, he's got a built 2.5 litre for sale, he has just stripped it down so its all in pieces, has forged pistons, aftermarket rods, heads appear to be in excellent condition & were freshened up when it was built recently, also had new water pump, oil pump, belts, tensioners etc etc, block appears to be in good condition, throw some new bearings in there & you'll have a decent forged 2.5

he said he chasing around $1000 which i think is fair considering it has heads & everything on there not just a bare block

if you'd like to inspect call owen on: 0417907254

engine was built at tenagah's, could have been by john otter as i remember him trying to sell it to me when he was building it a couple of years ago
