i\'m after a turbo\'d engine but thanks for the offer..... There can\'t be that much differance the rotors and housings etc.... surely it only the ancillaries that reall l differ..... or are they totally differant?

7ish..... i\'ll give you 8quid :evillaugh ..... oh 7k..... seems alot to pay for an engine as it would appear i could buy a blown lump for 500ish which would bring the total to 4k after rebuild and porting!!!! Thanks for all the guide lines tho i will hopefully be looking with intent of buying in the next couple of weeks so i\'ll ask again then and if these engines are still around then we\'ll see.

Cheers fella\'s
