Hi, i was offered one complete with injection and most of the extra bits basically to get it running for £100. Mind you the condition could not be guaranteed. If yours is in in good nic then of course it is worth much more. Maybe ring one of the vendors advertised here to ask one of them.
 Is it a 6 port?

off the top of my head ( eeekk )

the N/A\'s were 6 port and the turbo are only 4 port

dont quote me on that though :)

Stu

if you dont know what its worth - stick it on ebay

i will start with £35 - just so i can take it apart :)

Do you have the compression readings, I was talking to a customer this afternoon who maybe looking for one, if you can garentee its in good condition, and give me a figure to work with I maybe able to sell it for you. Dont go mad as this will be shipped abroad, so shipping will be a few bob.

well the only thing i have to say it being is a good engine is my word, i will get some fresh compression checks this week when i can and let you know. how much is it worth if it is a good engine with like i said apparently a rebuild on around 14k.
