Very low millage 6 cylinder engine from NADA Station Wagon

#1 Post by jacobko » Tue Oct 01, 2019 1:14 pm

Hello,

I am wondering if there is any interest for an extremely low millage 6 cylinder engine (including ancillary equipment) from a NADA station wagon. 811 of these were imported into North america, so they are quite hard to find. This engine was taken out of the station wagon when it was new for a V8 conversion and it has been in dry storage ever since. The block is in almost new condition, but the seals have likely dried out. The engine can be restored prior to sale, or can be sold as is.

This engine is a hidden gem, and I will only consider selling to someone who owns a NADA wagon without it's original 6 cylinder, and needs it to bring their NADA wagon back to original.

If you or someone you know is seriously interested, message me for inquiries.

Hi Jacobko

Looks like you have found some one who is interested in your Nada 6 cylinder, glad to see it will be potentially reused and not scraped like most of them.
Rovers North Forum has a on going list of all the remaining NADAs that is kind of interesting to read.
I have a very complete Nada Dormobile # 800 the engine needed a complete rebuild (it ran when I got it last fall but not well).
Just to let you know engine parts are still available a lot of the 6 cylinder parts from most of the usual Land rover parts places, some of the items specific to the NADA high performance engine are very hard to find.
I did source NADA parts from 2 companies in Britain, Turner engineering and John Wearing rover parts but sit down when you get a price quote, this has been the most expensive engine rebuild I have ever done ever.

Good luck to both of you hope to see it on the road one day.

Victor 1962 Dormobile in hibernation and 1969 Dormobile in pieces.
