Sunbeam Tiger Engine on stand ready for rebuild and use with carburetor. Replaced with new engine during restoration but ran fine before removed. No time or a car to put it in. Smallest V8 made. From website: http://www.motorbase.com/vehicle/by-id/1197/ Sunbeam launched its new, exciting, hybrid sports model the Tiger in 1964. This "wolf in sheep's clothing" model blended the Alpine bodyshell with an American Ford V8 engine normally found in the AC Cobra! The Ford 260 cubic inch (4260cc) V8 provided 164bhp and could propel the Tiger to 120mph, with 0-60 arriving in around 9 seconds. On stand, no lift so need to bring own. $110
