Surely this isn't worth 2.5 k !!! Is it??

All you need is a donor 1275 block bored to 1380 and you could have your self a real goer

Righto mate, righto.

if he took the time to strip it down and sell it as bits he would get 2.5k.
the twin 1.5su would be worth $500-$600 alone
roller rockers probably the same again.
so the motor is $1500 and you get a set of LCB's too.
Sorry i would be looking for that sort of money for it too.

Cheers

Aaron

If only it wasn't already at 1380, cause maybe it could of been usable!

Buy clapped out 1100S for $900, sell the shell for a couple of hundred send motor to engine reconditioner and get back 1380 for $2000. BETTER DEAL then buy twin carbs and still come out under $2500

steve

that would be my option! ^^^

i agree with steve as well, but if i was selling i think that 2.5k for it is a reasonable price. of course the market will decide it's fate.

I agree but make it 1360 (73.0mm) not 1380- then you still have 1 bore job left when it is `clapped out'

And just how many "clapped out" 1100Ss sit around waiting for their engines to be pilfered!?

J_A_M: Methinks that ever since u got pops cheap everything else is expensive. It's like thos Continental ads, where the guy expects too much of his little dog..Hmm ok ill shut up now

Alternative is keep yer eyes open, like I do... a block from here, a crank from there, a set of rods, cam... pretty soon you'll have a cheap 1275 motor suitable for reconditioning and improvement.

maybe if it was a full cooper s but we dont even know what crank it is.
en40b's are fetching big dollars.

i have bought and sold probably a dozen cooper s engines and only charged $2500 for the ones in really good nick.
complete with all ancilliaries

the mokeman cometh...........

$2500 for a cooper s maybe, the twin su's are worth $300 not $600
Sounds dear to me!
