Engine still useable??

Yeah, know it won\'t cause loss of steering as such but it can catch you out when the steering suddenly goes from light to heavy.
Best way to get an idea of what it\'s like is to go 60mph along a twisty B road and, press the clutch and switch the engine off as you\'re approaching the next bend. Maybe not!

power steering is speed sensitive on most modern cars, by 60mph it will have cut off almost totally, hence no difference

No, the engine wasn\'t run after the accident.  
So there\'s no way that I can know if it\'s worth buying it back then??
Chris philp offer me transplanting mine on to a car of his, but obviously I\'ll have to make sure mine\'s running.....
Anyone\'s had any work done by him??
Also how much should it cost to transplan an engine??
How much should I pay for the salvage??

Thanks a lot
