Valuation - S engine
Valuation - S engine
Hi All,
What's the value these days of a complete Mk1 1275 S engine (thin flange block) less gearbox.
Block is currently sitting on +40 and never been decked/linered, correct AEG163 head, forged rockers, Crank on std / std (prob needs a grind), 177 rods, Cooper S Distributor. It looks like someone refurbed it in the 80's and its been sitting since after doing a small amount of running.
I do appreciate that value and what people pay on ebay are quite different things.
Thanks
