I was sent an email today by one of my 'contacts' and they are selling, admittedly by auction, rather a lot of Saxon based spares.....including New/ remanufactured Bedford 6 cylinder 8.2 ltr Normally Aspirated Diesel Engines... I have numerous pictures of them, you can have one for starting price £1000, or lots of 2, or 5, priced accordingly.
Looking at the photos, they seem to be very similar in physical size to the B80/81, exhaust is on the left side, so that suits Saracens/Saladins, also the crankshaft appears to be nice and low down, with the flywheel very close to the base of the shallow sump (dry-sump?) ...check out the picture...... they also have matching new fully auto boxes, relatively reasonably priced, although not sure whether they'd be easy to match up to the transfer box on Saracen/Saladins... might be ok in a Stolly though.... think of the extra oomph 8.2 ltrs will provide!:laugh:
