1275 engine bored out to 1380 completely rebuilt comes with weber

Well the cost to have a place rebuild and work on something t that extent would exceed five grand. Any help?

Are you buying or selling but at a guess about 1500

so to get it for 4grand would be a good buy?

depends on what parts were used what had to be done but what is it worth has it been fired up ???
has it been run on a dyno has it got a box under it blah blah blah
yeah know what i mean ??

Really that much? a little while back there was a 1275 bored to 1410 with webber for 3000 in the adelaide tpost

it hasnt been run since it was rebuilt thats bad?
rebuilt by mini guys in islington newcastle anyone had anything to do with them?

i know there are so many variables with looking at an engine
but 4K is a LOT to part with for an engine.

rebuild for an engine is about $1500
webber/dell ive seen sell for $400

quite a big gamble, i would get my own block rebuilt with a trusted mechanic. i dont know anything about the islington place sorry

i got my 1100 rebuilt there and it seems good? only done bout 2000 k's on it since its been done, but yeh, better than it drove before.

when i got it done they had a 1310 sitting around with i think 6000k's done on it, i think that was going for $2000, y dont u get that if they still have it?

do they still have the red mini with black roof and 13x7 superlites on it there? thats sweet

From what I've spent-4g would be a reasonable price-Not a bargain though
Where' the gearbox and what condition

I am always curious about "rebuilt" engines... If it was me I would get a $200 unbuilt engine and build it yourself. THen you know what you are getting and know that its not going to need another rebuild a few weeks after you buy it.

Having said that Brickworx are building an engine for me and I trust the work that they do so its worth the money I am paying for it for sure...

maybe it'd be good to have a thread/forum on the board where people can make up a list of good prices for things. that way, people could look there, and there wouldn't be a "What's this worth?" followed by the inevitable string comment. just a suggestion anyway.

We have got some stuff from there and the guy seems pretty helpful but we did not spend $ 4000.00 ether.
I agree with Iwannamini if you can, build it yourself.

It sounds a bit dear, I just finished a total rebuild on a 1275-1310 and all the machining which included a crank grind, boring block, supplying new pistons and rings, bearings for the crank, new cam bearings and new cam, lead free head conversion and balancing the bottom end and supplying gaskets cost $1200. If the motor comes complete with new gearbox and clutch and all assembled it may be worth $4000 but if not it is a bit xxy. I guess it worth what ever someone is prepared to pay really
