Did when it went the car front end shake like a basted? if so then your clutch may have gone aswell which is stoping it from starting, And if its LSD like mine was huge huge bill.
rebuild can cost from 1k - 5k all deppends on what your ready to spend, if its pistions and its done it on comprestion your vauvles maybe fucked, there pritty easy todo, while your there tho getting a rebuild you may wanna thinking about some uprated parts, all deppends on what you really wanna do, And again price is a matter of the damage,
i didnt bother with mine i knew i blow the box so it was under alot of strain so i binned the engine and brought a new one, got it built to a good spec fordged up and moddifed, so i was happy, got a T34hybird and job a good un, if u know mates that can fit you an engine go for it as thats the most of the cost if your ganna buy a second hand engine,
Sevs.co.uk Visit that website, ring them and tell them what you want, my standard qoute for a new engine and fitting was 1,200 or for a ZVH 2.1 was 1,800.
they built me an engine and i got a mate to fit it
