The engine is
the whole car.

Low-mileage used and imported engines and gearboxes, sourced from South Africa and sold across Zambia and South Africa. Every unit is compression and leak-down tested when it lands, then photographed as it stands — so what you see on the listing is the unit that arrives, not a stock picture of one like it. Thirty-day warranty on all of it.

Engines worth clearing bay space for

The units we would put in our own vehicles this month.

See all featured

Buying an engine should not be an act of faith

Most engine listings here are a photograph and a WhatsApp number. We publish the whole file.

Documented, not described

Compression and leak-down figures, mileage and whatever history came with the unit. If we cannot prove a number, we do not print it.

Inspect it in 3D first

Listings carry an interactive model you can orbit, zoom and measure against your bay before you spend a kwacha on freight.

Tested before it is listed

Compression and leak-down tested on arrival, turned over and checked for play. Anything that fails is not listed, it is sent back.

Warranty that means it

Thirty days on every engine we sell, in writing, honoured without argument. We would rather lose the margin than the customer.

Delivered to Lusaka or Joburg

Crated, strapped and insured in transit. Collect from Kabulonga or Roodepoort, or tell us where it is going and we will quote the run.

Fitment answered by people who know the cars

We sell into these roads every day. Tell us the vehicle and the year and we will tell you whether it fits, before you pay for anything.

Powerplants we stock

From catalogue to crank in four steps

  1. 01

    Match it to your build

    Filter on displacement, layout, aspiration and output, then check the fitment list against your chassis.

  2. 02

    Inspect the evidence

    Turn the 3D model over, read the test figures and whatever history came with the unit, and ask us anything the sheet does not cover.

  3. 03

    Reserve it

    Stock is held the moment you order. We crate and insure it, and send you the collection or delivery details the same week.

  4. 04

    Install with support

    Whatever documentation came with the unit goes with it, the 30-day warranty starts on delivery, and the line stays open after it lands.

Not sure what fits? Describe the car.

Send us the vehicle, the year and the gearbox. We will come back with the two or three engines that actually make sense for it — and the ones that do not, before you spend anything.
