between 2000-2500 i would say is an avarage price . probably cheaper to get a different engine fitted ? but finding a decent one is the problem !! im in need of a rebuild too for my bugeye looked everywhere for decent recon engines with no success ,so going down the safer root of rebuild if u are gonna look for an engine dont go to (reconditioned engines .com ) they promise £1695 with 5 years guarantee ! been investigated on watchdog for supplying dodgy secondhand engines that have just been painted silver . i think there is a few companys linked with them also , just beware heathrow and hayes way . good luck whatever u do

Cost of a rebuild depends on what you want putting in it. And what power you ultimately want.

I've had an engine Built By Andy Williams - he's on eBay a lot with recon engines, should be able to get one from him on exchange for around £1800, and a further £350 for fitting. Worth a go - the forged 2.5 he built me is spot on!
