rigfht I'm looking to buy a engine off a mates dad, it came out of the car years ago then the head removed for inspection.
mileage is unknown but it was a running engine. the car it came out of now is beyond repair.
its a complete engine with carbs and gear box.
just wondering how much i would be looking at?

depends how much the seller wants!
bear in mind that they are not cheap engines to rebuild, which no doubt it will need by now, especially if it has been partly dismantled.

with all "Lots of trouble" engines (i should know) budget a good £1k on a rebuild parts and have a slush fund to the side for even more parts.

if its real cheap buy it to sell the parts like the twin carbs etc, but to rebuild it? way too expensive! its clearly had problems due to the head being removed. I would say £400 - £500 if it looks all complete but TBH I would just sell it off in parts
