Whats it worth? c20xe complete setup
tomgregory2000 - 8/10/09 at 12:55 PM
I am in the process of buying a new engine for the viento and as long as everything goes through my engine will be up for sale.
So i am just gauging intrest at the moment.
What would be up for sale would be:
C20xe engine Pre August 95
Flat shallow, baffled sump
Bellhousing adaptor XE to type 9 from sbd
Helix clutch from XE to type nine
Hydraulic slave cylinder
Reconditioned type 9 gearbox has done less than 1000 miles
MBE 967 ignition box inc wiring loom from SBD
Twin dellorto DHLA 45's running 38mm chokes from SBD
SBD Inlet manifold
Twin cable top mount throttle linkage
Two pipercross air filters (the ones that fit over the trumpets)
Engine mounts inc rubbers
Fuel regulator
Westfield gear lever extension
Gear lever
Electronic speedo drive fitted to gearbox
82 deg thermostat
Starter motor and alternator
Exhaust manifold (this is just a standard vx manifold that is cut and shut)
The only things you would need to get this engine running in a different car would be a fuel pump, lines, rad, rad hoses and some power leads from
battery to the starter motor and prop shaft.
I think thats everthing
engine fs
Pleas let me know what you think its worth as there is nothing i have found to compare it to.

meh, i'd give you £100 for it. please let me give you £100 for it 
i have no idea by the way, but that looks like a cracking spec. what power do you have from it?

Red tops go for about the £500 mark but yours has the RWD conversion so prob looking about 6- 700

nothing wrong with it at all, but it still needs work to get it right. if i could get a full red top set up (no cat needed, and my exhaust would fit
right up as is) for £100 i'd be well happy

I don't think he will let you have it for £100 as you only said please once.
omega 24 v6 - 8/10/09 at 04:32 PM
depends on your locality IMHO and the availability of redtops near you.
Say £ 500 all in for the carbs and manifold
£300 for the engine
£150 gearbox
£ 120 bellhousing
Etc etc for all the small parts
So around the grand mark as parts but realistically £800 in a lump I'd say.

Tom, i must ask, what engine are you going to put in instead of the Redtop? they are very tuneable for not alot of cash.
LoMoss - 8/10/09 at 05:31 PM
Me, me, can I have it. I'll top Blakes offer with £110.00.
Have plenty beer vouchers under the mattress so could bid more.
Cheers

No not a LET
Keep guessing
Cant find cheap ones and that would blow up the gearbox in about 5 seconds
