Dellorto 40dhla on lynx manifold
with all the extras like water pump and so on...
smooth gear box. rod change

Well, i'll pay $150 for it, cos thats all I got, but it's probably worth around $5000 but im no mini expert. Sounds like a awesome engine though.

my inlaws paid $1000 for an 1100. Fully rebuilt and started once. GR Cooper S head converted to unleaded, twin SU's, big cam, remote box, rad, alt, all reco or new....etc etc

I know it's not a 1275, but it give some sort of idea on what prices people are paying.

so,,,i`m assuming that the 1320cc is meant to be a 1330cc??? or a 1310cc???

& it`s worth whatever someone will pay for it really,

it`s quite often a case where it costs a hell of a lot more to re-build/machine/parts/labour etc that what he/she gets for it.

But in saying all that,,,that particular build would probly cost somewhere around the $5000 mark from me

I'd pay about somewhere around $3000 for it. The fact that it's an S head means nothing to me... I have a Metro 1300 head with S inlet and exhaust, same sh*t different badge... The only reason i'd be interested in a genuine S head is that it's bolted to a genuine S block and genuine S gearbox. This engine has none of the above...

S cam, so what? ~$100 for an RE13 cam sounds alot better to me

Hepolite pistons, I have 7 right here

Rod change box... :(

Now if it were a S block with S ratio Remote Box too... then I'd pay upwards of $5000 and lots of original S owners will be taking an interest which means even more money on top of that easy.

There's not enough info given to make a serious judgement on price. How much head work done? what type of valve train gear it's got? type of rods? crank? recond box or bolt on and pray? S ratios or Clubman ratios? balanced? crack tested components? How long is a piece of string?

But that's just me... 8)

Don't forget, upgrade from 998 or 1100 to 1275 means $1500 brakes too :wink:

How Long is a china man as well

:-)

$3000 sounds quite reasonable, but as 68 deluxe suggests,,,you are not quite sure of it`s integrity really, get a full specs list & go from there with pricing
