Ford Kent Cortina 1500 GT Pre-Crossflow 6-bolt Engine - $250 (sunnyvale)

1500cc GT Ford Pre-Crossflow engine, as used for Lotus Twincam, early Cortina, etc.

Block is a 2731 with main bearing caps, cam, oil pickup, timing chain tensioner. Bores measure 3.244". Block has no visible damage (broken lugs, cracks, etc.) Currently at 0.060" oversize. Some surface rust in bores as shown. "The last of the 1500cc non ‘L’ blocks, originally fitted with 6 bolt crank, usually bores to 83.5mm OK. Requires relieving for clearance if fitted with a Lotus crank. Round main caps."

Head is a pre-crossflow 1500GT head (repaired via welding between cylinders 2 and 3).

2731E crankshaft- this is the rare 1500, six bolt crank. Allows use of the improved lip style rear main seal. Mains are -.020, rods are -0.10. Spun bearing at #1 rod requires regrind.

All for $250.
