which engine should i use for a profit ?

lordluke1995 · Aug 23, 2012

bought a 88 petrol with no engine for 150 quid, i think thats good money ?

i want to just weld it up, bang an engine in it, and sell it ! oh and mot it

so what engine is best so i can buy it cheap, little mods, and highly wanted ?

second question, who wants to buy it

You should Flintstone it
More seriously I would have thought an original spec engine would be more valuable if installed?

I've seen the 2 1/4 petrols going on fleebay for about 150 ish.

original anything else would be killing the price

I thought some series c0uld be worth a bit more witha 200di or tdi conversion?

Are they really worth me with the original diesels/petrols compared to a well documented and executed conversion?

I under stand that Series with random conversions such as Nissan or Transit engines always take ages to sell.

Well son: that is a good question. Which of many markets are targeting. If it is a die hard series III colector then it better be bang correct in every way.

If it is someone wanting 1 all depends.

Or could be 1 who wants a weekend driver with a little zip in it.

So you see there are several answers to your open ended question.:drum:
