Sutty2006 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I have, sat in my lock up, a 3.0 24 valve senator engine. I think its pretty much complete and was bought by one of the dutch members off one of our members. I think its all there including the loom (possibly) and the exhaust manifold etc etc. Circumstances beyond his control have forced him to part with the engine so its up for sale, here, in the UK. He was going to bring his car over and convert it here, you see. Ive no Idea on what this engine is worth as I cant find any others for sale. At all. Any ideas? offers? Guide price? Located in the Staffordshire moorlands, where men are men, and sheep are scared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5102 IA Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 ...and I have the R28 manual gearbox, custom billet lightened flywheel and clutch that was going to go with it. Maybe they'll still get together as a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Its possible if someone is wanting to do a conversion. I will get pictures over the weekend etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamchop77 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 5102 IA Am i right in saying the R28 will go behind a 4 pot CIH??? If so i might be interested in the box if its for sale. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5102 IA Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi, Yes the R28 bell housing bolt pattern is the same, the only complications are: - Its a hydraulic clutch, so you'd need to mod the pedal box with a master cylinder for the clutch pedal - The 24v flywheel has additional crank mounting bolt to the 12v (which is the same as the Manta 2.0), so the flywheel wouldn't bolt straight on. I'm not sure if retaining the Manta flywheel is an option as the R28/24v has a dual mass flywheel usually, so the clutch/flywheel assembly is deeper, If the hydraulic clutch hasn't put you off, but the thought of welding up and re-drilling the flywheel does, then I could give you the dims to look at the Manta flywheel option if you have one to measure. All the best, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamchop77 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Ian Nope none of that bothers me too much. plan is for it to go behind the 2.3 or 2.5 motors i'm building (still!!!). One of these is going imto the trackday morris minor i'm building so everything is custom anyway. Engines have lightweigh steel flywheels and helix clutches so need the box to fit to them rather than mod them. Think the only measurements i need are the input shaft length, how far it sticks out from the front of the gearbox, diameter of the input shaft nose and length and also length of the splines for the clutch spinner. I assume the outer ring gear and positioning are the same. If you could take some pics and send to my gmail lamchop77cj@gmail.com that would be cool.

cop Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 r28 gearbox for a 24v cih , engines hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5102 IA Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for the image cop Chris, yes the outer ring gear and positioning is the same. I'll send you some images, but having been to measure up: Diameter of input shaft nose = 15mm Length of nose = 30mm length of splines = 52mm Length of bearing slide area (to bearing face in rearmost position( =28mm Also the image above shows the box with the std senator linkage - this measures approx. 17cm from the centre of the lever pivot to the rear mounting point on the gearbox. I have a shortened linkage that measures approx. 6.5cm between the same points. To calculate total block to gearlever distance add 49cm. Hope that helps - I'll get the images to you to.
