What's my old engine worth

[martin.sim]

Hiya
Thinking of having a clear out, I've got what I assume is a single port engine complete with Dynamo, standard carb etc. it does have some end float mind & the obligatory oil leak.
I know I'm supposed to give a price but I haven't a clue what it's worth, should I break it down for individual parts etc can anyone advise & if they are interested in it

I'm looking for a crank and con rods. If that helps you make a decision. They'd have to be very good condition tho.

It's all down to how much end float it has, and how much compression. Assuming you don't have anything stupid going on like dropped valves. If you want to make money, you've got to get those specs As it could be anything from a bit worn with 50k left in it, or completely knackered

I really don't know, I drove the bus back from Bournemouth to the Midlands & swapped it for my current one as it had twin carbs, alternator etc & was just easier to change the lot.

last engine I bought that was a "stop gap" I paid £400 for it complete.

If you break it,what carb is on it.

 

[martin.sim]

I'd rather it went complete tbh as if I started stripping it I'd be keeping stuff all over again just I case lol
Think I do need the fly wheel off it though to go with my "spare" gearbox

£400 sounds good

If it runs and gets you about, £200 long block, £400 fully built with carb, exhaust and all that nonsense is probably about right If you get some info and stop the oil leak, £600 up I guess

Hi
Is it complete with heat exchangers, exhaust, correct tinware and engine bar?

Could you pm me a contact number
Cheers
Bob

 

[martin.sim]

No heat exchangers (I need some new ones myself)

That is a twin port, or has twin port heads and tins on it.
