Anyone know of any new blocks for sale? They are listed on servicebox at over £3k each and you can only buy them with pistons so that is not really a sensible option.

Thanks.

quite unlikely these days, they haven't made an iron xu for over ten years.

How much would it cost to have a new block machined out of a block of ally? Cool

Probably a lot, but might be cheaper than £3k?

I can't see you getting hold of a brand new block Pete to be honest. What are you intending to use it for?

If you get a very condition used block, and then hot wash it it will be like new really, especially if you plan on boring it for new pistons. Yes

just use an EW if you want alloy block, or an XU7 with silly expensive 85mm liners and an 88mm crank.

OR, 83mm diesel block bored to 85mm and an 88mm crank, that's probably the best way to get a fresh block.

boosh Wink

don't think anyone has done any XU10's in ally, as its pointless when there's the alloy XU, and the EW which is superior, but the Millington's version of an XE is £2750+vat, so £3300.


however in pete's application I'm guessing he has to stick to the original engine type at least, so XU/XUD only.

Colin satchell's recent 270 ish bhp hillclimb engine is XUD based with XU7 head and a 1998cc capacity.

no new blocks available when I asked.


hence why mine had to be linered, as the said the one I had was too worn.
