Default 1.9 American Tall Block

Hi all, havent posted in a while as xrtwo.com only let me out once in a while.

A quick question.
I've got a 1.9 cvh engine and wanted to know how much they are worth as need to sell it to fund a new bottem end for my XR2 (as i've bought a turbo technics kit for it )
Included is 1900 american tall block complete, sump, fly wheel etc. head, no manifolds but think few things like dizzy and leads are still with it. I'd recommend a rebuild or a slight skim and re-hone the bores at the very least.

Whats it worth as it stands?

My car's fine btw and just bought this lot for her....



Also prob worth asking if anyone knows of any half decent XR bottem ends or rst bottem ends, on a budget???

Cheers
JAMES

They'll have the oil return for the turbo machined out of them, so not the same

And of course the pistons will probably be different to achieve the correct CR for a turbo
