Does anyone know of or have an R8 gordini motor for sale? I have a gearbox and rear suspension assembly and am considering making a replica.

in france they use r5 gordini motor and i think they change the rocker cover to a more authentic one. Good luck finding someone to get an original one off.
Hi Chris,
If you go the R5 G/A do not take the easy way out and go to the single link timing chain to fit a crank pulley at the timing chain end. Better to mod the R5 (duplex chain) cover to have an oil seal. Then you can make it look R8 G with the water pump at the back end. I think a much better way to go, in your replica R8.
Best of building.
'scuse my ignorance but what is the difference between the R8G and R5A engines? Is the R5A a turbo?
Regards
Chopper Bob
I'll never sell the 8G engine BUT
I have an R5A engine which hasn't had the water pump moved yet. was running nicely a year ago.
or maybe for the right price a modified one with the water pump mod already done.
