At the right price it would sell mate. If i had the money i would have it off you.

It'll sell a lot easier if you still have the receipt showing whats gone into it?

how much were you thinking mate? and why run it on fully?? not putting you down, got a choice to make myself over 10.40 semi.

Price wise I've not thought that up yet, but the going rate seems to be anywhere from £2500 upwards... of the few ones that i've seen for sale recently.

Dont really understand what you mean about the oil???

"got a choice to make myself over 10.40 semi"

I use 10w40 fully synthetic as thats what the engine needs

Short motor or long? £2.5k is way over the odds for a used 2ltr forged short motor IMO.

simple really mate,its worth what you want to ask,and it will sell accordingly. i.e if you want it gone quick price it low,if you want what its worth then hold out for the right price

Not sure I know the difference??

I'm not so much bothered by the price at the minute, going rate seems to be around £2'000 - £2'500... I was more after peoples opinions of splashing out ££££'s for engines in the current climate, when that sort of cash can by you a half decent older car

The rate at which classics are being broken up these days is really quite incredible. Even mint Type Rs are being considered for what they may fetch in parts. People either cant get a decent price as a whole, or cant justify the cost of fixing them up.

That means that 1. more engines are available and 2. there are less cars looking for new engines.

Supply and demand means that you may have to wait a while for a sale.

Long motor is with the heads, short is just the bottom(middle technically) end.
