im intrested in buying this as it is fairly local to me. If i can get it at the price ive discussed with the seller im on a winner.

How much will you give for it? And how easily do you think it can be fixed?

I have a spare T3 turbo in my garage

The seller has the broken lugs of the block to mount the gearbox, im sure these could simple be welded back on and retapped?

Can the crack in the inlet manifold be welded back up?

either way its going to need a full rebuild but if the broken parts can be welded up surly it will be a good cheap engine as its quite a new build.

Thanks Matty

Damage to block, cracks to head - personally i wouldnt bother with it.

As above, a lot of the engine is damaged and only good for spares. Blocks and heads are cheap enough to not need to bother repairing damaged ones. The only reason that I can see for buying that lot is if you want to build a Westie as it has some nearly new parts on it.
