just as a reference another forum member is selling a stroker engine race built full for 6000euros and i have had a quote for the block alone (stroker) for around half that.I have to see if i have the pm from him.

[keithsw0]

is that with bolt on turbo etc

[A80Avant]

i think he was selling a GTK turbo on the 6000euro price.

i was wrong, i think its without the turbo

[keithsw0]

so £3-4k for block will may be be ok

[A80Avant]

3-4K is more than 3000euros that he sells the block alone. He sells for 6000euro for the block+head!

3000euros block alone!

[keithsw0]

sorry i meant block and head £3-4k

more info needed really. For example if its been blueprinted it will be worth a lot more than someone simply throwing new bearings in a used engine.

what pistons? has it been balanced? New oil pump? etc etc etc

[keithsw0]

yes been balanced
no blue print
standard pistons as far as im aware but will need to check this

[Error404]

If you have 7A pistons thats a problem.

You really need a comprehensive list of whats been done to the engine.
IMHO only a fool would buy and run an untested "built" engine, therefore who ever buys it is likely to strip it down to check it all anyway.

What pistons are in it? 7A block is 82.5mm by default so you must have used custom pistons? you can't use the 7a piston wrong CR they have a CR for a NA engine!
