Did they just smash random number keys when giving a price?!

 

It'll sell at that price I would of thought......I know someone who put a Harvey Gibbs engine up for Ł16k on Friday and a bloke travelling from London to Durham to pick it up Monday, paid cash.

 

Cash on collection only too, so in other words, you're getting mugged lol

 

A lot of dosh but I bet it sells

 

I've got a gen RS 500 block sitting in my garage had it yrs, bought it from tony at turbo systems, what would that b worth these days.... As I'm after a standard bore 200block.

 

wow thats some cash for an engine but as said will sell would it had any value though to the car its been fitted into are would it have to be taken out again

 

Thats about right I would say as thats a rare sight a complete 500 engine and Graham Hathaway has been around for years and wont be selling crap

 

Is it me or has this got a 4x4 head

 

Don't wanna sound like a dick but I was told once that the rs500s had the 200 block that's the same as the 4x4 saphs but this one has the 205 block stamped on it?

 

only worth it if it gives you back your engine/matching numbers to a rs500 shell/v5.
rs500 was 205 block thicker blocks with different core holes...etc..

 

Its expensive, but look how much RS500 stuff sells for. I wouldn't buy it.

 

4x4 Water pump I think?

Or did all Rs500 have twin outlets?

 

Ah that explains it!

 

Should be ok from Graham Hathaway...?

 

It's a lot of money but I can't comment with what I'm spending on my engine lol.

 

Ye but you'll probably end up with a few more horses than 224! And a faster spool up.

 

if I don't I'll be after blood lol. But to be fair with the way 500's are collectors cars now people must want numbers matching. So if you got this engine for your 500 it wouldn't match. If your buying it to tune then your wasting your money lol as you may as well get a normal 200 block and put liners in it.

 

Ye you could probably have a good 200 block engine for the asking price, but as you say, for some collector wanting a matching number engine then its ideal.
