Rolls Royce K60

Yes, they do come up for sale, there are hundreds of them about. The MoD just upgraded the 432s, the main modification being a new powerpack. Liquibiz have been disposing of them, they should have some left providing they haven't sold the lot to the scrap man. http://www.liquibiz.com/index.html

Marcus Glenn also has them in stock, look under the FV430 section on his spares site.

This is a scrap yard, all 10 of these had less than 100 hours.

Wow! I hate seeing things go to waste...:argh:

Does the engine run a hydraulic pack in the Fv432? What else comes attached to the power pack?

Sorry for the ignorance!

Heres one that was for sale at the MVT Kemble show mate !:-D £1500

A friend put one in a Stalwart.

Interesting you should say that! Been offered a stolly with a dead engine, found some references to this conversion on the yahoo group but couldn't find much detail on the conversion.

Do you have any more info on the conversion?

It was the red stolly that was on the show scene in the nineties but now thats in Canada. All i know really is that is a K60 engine.

Thats my 434 with a pack on the end of it at Kemble :cool2:

If you're looking for an engine I've got some incomplete packs with engines if you're interested,I've also got one recon pack with 52hrs if anyone is interested,moving shed soon so I need the room:red:

Hi Dave, a little late but just bought myself an FV434 in Belgium. Do you have some parts for that tank?

Are there any out there for sale at the moment?

Hi Dave, you don’t have any more power packs do you? 
 

cheers

I think that Nick Mead at Tanks-a-lot has hoovered most of them up these days.

The only variant that had anything additional to the standard power pack was the FV 434 and that had a small PTO on the rear of the pack. The was a small hatch in the 434 engine cover which you lifted up then you could engage the PTO. 
spent a bit of time in power pack repair section in the mid 80’s and then many years in FRG doing pack replacement. Also had my own 434 for most of my service career so daily/weekly maint etc and far too many pack lifts to mention. The running gear was very reliable if looked after and compared to an ARRV track bashing was a doddle.  When with the RHG/D in BAOR in the mid 80’s I never had to do any major work on mine, it just never let me down.
A great bit of kit and with the addition of a penthouse possibly the best armoured vehicle out there to live in.
