Vintage Daimler ( England ) Hemi Engine 278 Cu In Aluminum Heads on 2040-parts.com
Santa Fe Springs, California, United States
|
Here is a rare opportunity to own a brilliant Hemi V8 I have one in my 1932 Ford Roadster ( fits a stock firewall & no hood bulges ) I bought this rare beast ( one of 2044 made ) from Jim Jacobs & realize I'm not going to need a 2nd engine as mine has proved super reliable so this is for sale as is.
The engine is 4.5 liter ( 278 cu.in. ) It has a cast iron block with Aluminum heads , weighs just 500# , cast aluminum oil pan I have converted it to an aluminum pulley but otherwise it is stock . If required I can help with converting it to a modern trans ( mine I converted to put a T5 stick trans behind it & it's been a blast to drive) I have outside headers I made & also a 3 carb manifold to fit Stromberg carbs to , available in separate auctions. Any Questions can be answered by calling LimeWorks Speedshop , I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. Parts are now available ie bearings, pistons/rings & gaskets from England. My engine was built by Jay Steel at Taylor engines before parts were available so a decent machine shop can help out. Every engine was blueprinted & hand assembled at the factory in England Quality of build is amazing. Check out Wikipedia for Daimler V8 engines for the story. There are a few photos showing what the engine can look like & it runs amazingly. Engine turns over freely by hand . Send me your zip code I can get a price for freight shipping & I can get it strapped to a pallet . |
